There are so many variables to get to a clean
HDTune it makes me wonder how useful/accurate
is it?

I also noticed when loading the Rescue CD that
there's no way to take a screenshot.

It seems the new Macrium7, cloning, backups and
Rescue CD all work OK.

I want to thank you for all your great help
and explaining things. I appreciate all the time
you take to do that.
