| 418331 | 2006-03-11 22:35:00 | Hi Misty I haven't done anything more about it at present, I was waiting to see if DSE got the boxed version in. I'll check their website and see if it is available yet. Cheers Billy 8-{) Edit: Yes, DSE now stock it at $100 incl gst. It is OOS in some stores at present but new stocks were expected mid-March |

It is OOS in some stores at present but new stocks were expected mid-March I am just rung Harvey Norman and they can get it in for $99, which is much the same. Have you reservations about going to Amazon ? Misty :rolleyes: |

| 418333 | 2006-03-11 23:15:00 | From my previous research, a boxed copy from Amazon costs a lot more than the local price from DSE/HN so that's a no-brainer. Downloading the software and buying the key is not my preferred method either, for reasons explained earlier in this thread, so I'll be going the DSE/Harvey Norman route. It is just under $98 at DSE with a Trade card and just under $100 without, I rounded it up to $100 for convenience. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 418336 | 2006-07-14 20:11:00 | I have Acronis True Image 9, it works very well... much better than Norton Ghost. Billy in answer to your query... yes the software does have the ability to make bootable recovery media which includes floppy disks, CD-R, CD/RW and even zip and other card media (provided you can set your PC to boot from them of course.) This will allow you to restore your computer to a previous state... assuming of course you have made a backup of the data. Personally I love the clone disk feature. I Have a 40GB drive that has a copy of my freshly installed system... Windows XP, Office 2003 and all my other bits and pieces. Should anything go wrong, I just restore the image to my main drive, jump onto Windows Update and in less than 30 minutes I back up and running. The application works great and has a wizard feature for everything it does, so there's no hunting around or any of that stuff. It is very much user friendly and definitely kicks Norton Ghost's butt in that department. I downloaded my copy off the Acronis website and paid US$50.00 for it from memory. I understand if you have reservations about obtaining the downloaded version but rest assured there is nothing to worry about. The one thing I do suggest is that once you have it installed.. make a set of rescue disks straight away. Hope that helps. cheers chiefnz |

| 418337 | 2006-07-14 21:36:00 | I've seen it in DSE and Harvey Norman in the last week. I think the first version of 9 had a bug in it for a while which made the restores look like they were corrupt, but presumably this was fixed long ago. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
