Is there a good but FREE image program?
I used Ghost some years back using ME/98 but most of the time it didn't restore image - when needed. Furthermore if I format a system partition, will i be able to restore image without installing XP? Cause I am using NTFS. |

To assist you, perhaps? I'm certainly not doing it for my health.

He could find answers to several of these questions with a bit of googling.

Yes i can.
but as i asked "GOOD" which you can only judge by your personal experience. I already googled before asking here, which came out with 78 programs on first page only - i clicked. I think you should learn from Airman Basic. If you dont know leave it. "Bill in Co." wrote in message ... He could find answers to several of these questions with a bit of googling.

Furthermore if I format a system partition, will i be able to restore image without installing XP? Cause I am using NTFS. If you have a Western Digital, Seagate, or Maxtor drive (either installed in the PC or used as an external drive), you can get Acronis True Image for free from their web sites. It'll make an image of pretty much anything you want, and doesn't rely on an OS to create or restore one. By creating the boot disk with it, you bypass any installed OS and create the image from the root level. I've used it to create and restore an XP PC and a Vista notebook with absolutely no problems.

Just to add here.... Seagate has their version of Acronis available as well. You just have to have a Seagate drive installed, either internal or external. It lacks the ability to schedule backups but otherwise just as good as the full version. -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3 |

Have you purchased an Acronis application and was the image created using
the application? Farhan wrote: Thanx, I have done that, but is there a program from acronis with which i can explore the created image? i remember Norton has one but not finding one on acronis site.
