What is the big deal with DI not running on NT? The fact of the matter is that there will probably never be a product that will be able to image a partition with an OS actively running on it. If NT is on D: and you have booted NT on that drive, you couldn't image it. I use DI alot (finally decided to use it over Ghost) I boot to my small C: drive (dos) and image any other partition on the machine. I put the file wherever it will fit (usually on a fat16 partition I use almost solely for this) and then move the .pqi image file around later once NT is loaded. I burn a cd or put it on the network or on a removable. Even though PM runs natively on NT, I almost always execute it from dos, much safer IMHO. It has to go there to make alot of the changes anyway. Good Luck Dan
