Question Image Software

Does anyone have any suggestions on image software that supports SATA (Serial ATA) drives?

Acronis or Ghost doesn't. I get "No drive detected" using the boot disk.
I have a fresh install of XP, and would like to create an image.

Thanks in advance.

Newer versions of Acronis True Image *do* support SATA drives. Which
version do you have?

If all you are interested in is creating a full image of your fresh
install, the free DriveImage XML does a good job:

http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm

You can also use it for subsequent images. The only downside is that it
doesn't allow for incremental images (like ATI).

Ah.. Thanks alot!
I read a review at C/Net (http://tinyurl.com/57upsf) which told me about Paragon Drive Backup. And it's FREE too. Just have to register. It works great, and recognized my SATA drive no problem.
