I like backups in the form of compacted drive images much better than I do hidden partitions. The latter take more space, can't easily be archieved to other media like CD-R or cartridges, and risk being
corrupted by operations that don't play nice with hidden partitions or tamper with drive letters

I agree. My first stabs at the restore process were with Partition Magic. Drive Image is better suited to the task for the reasons you mention. What problems are associated with hidden partitions?
