thecow, re Acronis: you verify each time you make an image? Have you ever actually restored from an image?

I want to thank all those who made suggestions about my LCD monitor that I wasn't getting a good image on. At this point, I have it hooked up in my office, and while still not fully satisfied, it is working well at 1024x768. I need to test it against a fully modern computer to see if there is a mismatch between it and my old video card. again. thanks. larry

Hi thecow,

I've never used an imaging program before. However, I've been giving it some thought, and think its a good idea.

I would think the following is important before one images his hard drive:

1) Ensure your hard drive is free from virus, spyware, etc.

2) After you image your hard drive, I would assume that it's best to disconnect the drive that you used to create the image. If you don't, and you pick up a virus, etc. that it may end up on the attached imaged drive. Thus, an external drive might be the way to go, such as the Maxtor One Touch USB drive.

Question...when one images a drive, do you have to shut down all the programs that are running in the background? How about all the "processes" that are running in XP?

I use to use Drive Image 4 from Powerquest. It ran in DOS from boot disks, was very easy to use and 100% reliable.

Then Symantec took over and merged it with Ghost. I am still learning Ghost, it’s a completely different feel from the old DOS screen menus, but ghost imaging your hard drive is the only way to go for backing up.
