So far I think DriveImage is the gem of the bunch if your setup is not too complicated. Saves a lot of time having a fresh image of your system ready to go. Only takes a few minutes to make the image and then a few minutes to apply it. As opposed to hours spent re-installing and tweaking everything back to where it was. I'm not sure how much advantage DI gives over using something like PKZIP for DOS. DI saves an image of the entire partition so it is more fool-proof and one-step than PKZIP. But PKZIP is free. Maybe someone can shed more light on this. PartitionMagic and BootMagic are cool toys but unless you run a lot of OSs and weird configurations I doubt you're going to use it much. PM did pay off for me already, though: I had lost access to 500MB of space on my HDD. fdisk showed that it was there, but would not let me include it in a partition. PM grabbed it right back! w
