I think Stock Bull does that with Easus. I thought I seen him post he also backs up his hidden partition with the factory image on it. I have not tried that, but I believe it's possible as it's listed in my things to back up in Windows 7 using True Image. True Image sees it. I don't use the clone method, actually ever since I started imaging back in 1999, I never cloned anything. Back then it was Powerquest Drive Image, that program was awesome, until Symantec bought them out and wrecked the program by incorporating it into Ghost. Then I went to Acronis and oddly the interface was almost exactly like Drive Image, I don't know how they got away with that, it was almost 100% the same look and feel of Drive Image. en.wikipedia.org

EaseUS says it will clone hidden partitions: "5. If you choose to clone a hidden partition, the cloned one is unhidden." description of disk cloning with screen shots easeus.com tinyurl.com search for 'hidden' on that page to find that sentence PS: I've used EaseUS to clone my system partition 5 times now without problems. It couldn't be easier [never had to refer to the manual] and cloning time has been 22 minutes consistently for the 36 GB partition

I have an HP desktop with the C drive being partitioned into a C and D drive. The D drive is the factory recovery program for the OS. I have cloned both of them using EaseUS. I did one partition at a time. However, I could have selected the C and D partitions and cloned them at the same time. I hope this answers your question. I should note that I booted from the cloned C drive and my computer worked fine. It's like having a dual boot system. EaseUS is a great program, and it's free. Acronis gave me nothing but problems. So, I evaluated EaseUS, liked it and dumped Acronis. I deleted it from my system. Stock Bull
