282956 2004-10-20 08:34:00 well where can i begin..... firstly i booted up my pc and all was fine for about 5min then it locked up and crashed, i restarted and i went into firefox and start to check out some post on pressf1, but to my horror all my bookmarks were gone they just dissapeared, they were there 10 min ago and now there are no where to be found. and yet again another crash. i got so sick of it i formated and started again..... i was going to do this in the xmas holidays anyway, i was fully aware that everything was wiped so all my programs and what not is down the drain, well all that out of the way, my questuon is: what is a good drive imaging program, i dont wanna buy/use shareware ie ghost which cost heaps im guessing, so is there any free drive imaging programs that fellow readers like to use and RECOMMEND
any help is much appreciated :D

Thats the spirit of Rock N Roll.

282962 2004-10-20 09:09:00 Sorry DrvClonerXP 2.1 on further read is n't going to do it for you unless you lhave large hdrive or spare and enjoy cloning back and forth would work but messy.
Wasn't that far off then Metla for a man of your tender years you then have discernment and taste which sort of buggers up your reputation a bit :-)

1) Ghost isn't shareware.

2) If your HDD is worth imaging it is worth paying a small sum to do the job reliably.

3) Norton Ghost isn't expensive, and neither are its competitors.

4) Somebody will probably come along with a freeware program for
you but if it blows away your data, just remember how much you paid
for it before you complain about it.
