If you have a CD burner & Nero, you can use HDBackup. Unless your OS partition is smallish, it will take a fair few CD's. I have used this for years with no problems.

I was a recording engineer for Lansdowne Studios in London 1962-66.
A lot of our recording was Jazz and, as an private studio - in those days there was basicly EMI, Decca, Pye, CTS & Olympic - we were kept busy. Americans liked the UK sound, and one artist I recorded was Gene Pitney. Our own Artists were Acker Bilk, Roger Whittaker and some lesser known ones. All orchestras were hired on a session basis, and why Jimmy Paige stood out for me, was between takes, he was always experimenting. Also, as an engineer, I did very little to enhance his sound - whether electric or accoustic it was always right. We had a good time, except when the local school heard that Dave Clark was there. We were mobbed. Still remember running flat out to get away from them. Great fun

282993 2004-10-21 04:34:00 It does not compress - it will back up the whole partition - even with only say 1 mb used, if the partition is 10 mb, that is what it will back up. Ghost and Drive Image do similar, but do compress. Best to partition your HD & BU to this, or a seperate one. Restoring is very easy. In my case I boot via a floppy and do it from there.

282994 2004-10-21 05:16:00 sory for all the questions but this is a serious issue,i dont wanna load everything upagain :D . whats this Drive Image you are talking about, where can i get hold of this got a link?...... might see if i can get a hit on google..... Prescott (11)
282995 2004-10-21 06:27:00 Drive Image 4.0 came on a CD included with a MB I bought - along with Partition Image 6.0. Believe it is similar to Ghost. I use W98se so not sure if it works with XP.
