Very sorry to hear about your DI difficulties, ZP. FWIW, I've restored many partitions via DI with no problems (always using "low" compression, which saves me between 30-55% compared to the size of the original partitions.) My guess is that your suspicions of a bad HDD as a source are indeed correct. I have not yet tried the individual file restore which is reportedly available as of the 2.01 patch. As I've suggested before I think this will make DI even more useful. I've been tempted by CD-RW several times, but between the low cost of hard drives and the other backup solutions available to me (zip, sparq, and other machines on the home LAN), I've decided to hold out for DVD RAM (already shipping at > $500) unless I see a deal too good to pass up. Only thing I miss now is not being able to master and copy music CDs.
