I would like to make a disk image of my internal drive to an external hard
drive. I have Partition Magic 6.0 to do this.

If my internal drive fails, I would like to copy this image from my external
back to my new internal.

I'm and thinking I need some image copy software that boots from the CD.
Any recommendations.

I have the serial, but can't find a place to download the file from. Any
ideas?

I already use Acronis 10, but I went through the "exercise" of getting
the free version of Acronis 7, which is excellent, by the way, and I
too, got my serial number but saw no download link to the program. I
would give them a call. Unfortunately, non corporate users don't have
a toll free number to call. Check on this page for their number in
Burlington, Massachusetts:

Please post back here and let us know what happens. No need us
recommending a the free program if you can't get it.

Does Partition Magic copy to and from DVDs?

You have to get it from the registered products link on the left of the page
I believe.
