hi bob i agree with pw, your inquiry is a good one (okay, she said fascinating). <g> and it seems that a user would be justified in questioning the integrity of the images being saved, and that there should be a ready test to make that determination. perhaps the drive image program has built in diagnostics that will not issue a 'task completed' prompt until and unless the image produced is a good one. but rescue disks for norton always suggest that you restart the machine using them to see if they are good, so why not a like test for these drive images? hmmmm. have you searched the powerquest site for a possible FAQ? one thought comes to mind for testing image integrity is to create an extra partition and have your os installed on it just to restore images there for testing. that would be the only use for the os on the partition.... recent image restoration checking. make sense? it really wouldn't be too tough to set up. :) mark
