Sultan, go to 'my computer' to see your hard drives and partitions. In my case it shows... local disk (C:} drv2_vol1 (F:) drv2_vol2 (G:) meaning drive C: has only one partition and drive 2 has two. I've tried Ghost years ago and gave up on it. Acronis True Image is very easy to use, but I've only had it for a few days and have never actually had to recover. There is a function which checks the integrity of a backup and I've used it. If you get Acronis TI, I'd also recommend Norton Partition Magic because that lets you manage partitions [delete, add, alter size] without damaging data. I bought it here for about 18 bucks including shipping and am satisfied with the sellers service amazon.com If you buy Acronis TI from www.newegg.com as a download it's $30. So, for a total of $48 you can protect yourself completely against single hard drive failure or any screw-ups you cause yourself [I certainly need that :)]. Then you only have to worry about flood, fire or theft.
