Which disk image creation software is good for Vista?
Hello,
In previous years I used Ghost to create the image of my harddrive. It was simple, easy procedure and very fast. I booted up computer to the command prompt and restored harddrive in few minutes!!! But it was FAT32 system. Now, with Vista I do not have a choice but to use NTSF file system. Which program offers the most features for disk image creation? I know it will be impossible for me to restore image from command boot option, but what the options I have? Can I for example take the harddrive to another computer and restore the image in there? Or create bootable CD (DVD?) and restore the image that way? Or I have to first install Windows and then restore? What are the options? Your experience is welcomed, Jack

Ghost Version 12 is Vista compatible. The Ghost installation CD has been bootable for a number of versions. You may need to reset your BIOS to boot from CD. If you have more than one DVD/CD drive only one will be boot capable {in a tower system it is usually the top drive}. I recently changed to Acronis True Image for a new computer. So far I like it; but have not needed to use it to restore. I did a number of restores with Ghost versions 10 thru 12. For non-Windows drive or a drive with Ghost installed, I could restore from within Windows. Don

I also VERY highly recommend Acronis True Image, as much as it grieves me to
agree with Malke on something.  "Malke" wrote in message ... Jack wrote: Hello, In previous years I used Ghost to create the image of my harddrive. It was simple, easy procedure and very fast.

I recently downloaded and installed WinImage Pro for 60 bucks. Haven't had a
chance to really figure out how the little devil works. How does it measure up with Acronis.? Before I downloaded it I frantically searched the web for comparative information and was quite confused. Thanks. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message news 683C85B-1185-4605-B079-I highly recommend Acronis True Image. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

If that version is Home Premium, I highly recommend native "Complete PC Backup and Restore". Excellent programme.

Like Acronis and Ghost, BootItNG will make and restore images.
It restores from its boot GUI and handles image CDs and DVDs. Priced at $35: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=BootItNG "Jack" replyto@it wrote in message ...
