Andromeda43 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Again, for the umpteen thousandth time, Norton Ghost 2003.It can be run from within windows, or it can be run from a boot floppy or CD.(my personal favorite method)It can read FAT-32 or NTFS hard drives with equal ease and burn a compressed Image file to a second HD partition, a Second HD or directly to a CD or DVD. It will span multiple disks when required.When you boot up with a Ghost boot floppy and select to burn the image file to a DVD (for instance) the program will ask you if you want to copy the boot floppy to the DVD as a boot sector for the DVD.That gives you a bootable restore DVD or CD that rivals anything put out by any of the big named boxes.You can buy it from many sources on the internet for less than $7 usd.Some more info about your system and OS would be helpfull here.Good Luck,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Acronis kicks the crap out of ghostThat sounds like an "opinion" from someone who's either never used Ghost or was too inept to use it to its fullest potential.Opinions, like the one quoted above, do nothing here but inflame. If you have any hard facts, please list them.That's what the original poster was asking for....not blind and inflamatory opinions.Cheers,Andromeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azagahl Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 For FAT32 file systems, a free and easy imaging tool is SaveParthttp://www.partition-saving.com/I've used this a lot and never had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
