One good feature Acronis still has is the ability to ignore drive errors when cloning a drive, but that option isn't available when making an image. Macrium doesn't allow for ignoring errors with clones or images. The Acronis ignore errors option when cloning has saved drives for both my mom and best friend. Unfortunately new versions of Acronis won't clone or image a single partition on a drive with multiple partitions like my Acronis 2013 did and the new versions only clone or image entire drives. On a good note I found Aomei Backupper that will clone single partitions and there's a free version. backup-utility.com Also, on drive reliability, I tend to retire my drives before they get too old.

Years ago I had 2 images fail on me, they were full images and they were check for errors, but that does not guarantee they will restore. Luckily it only happened on 2 computers the same night why two different computers, I have no idea. Never had that since then, and I was using True Image as well.

Thanks PW, right now I'm struggling with deleting a System Reserved partition. I have the System Reserved partition with a Win-XP and Win7 partition. Trying to whittle it down to a single Win7 partition. Did find this: How to Remove the Windows "System Reserved" Partition terabyteunlimited.com Later my goal is to add a single Win10 partition to the single Win7 partition, but that will be easy after getting rid of the XP and system reserve partitions. Thanks Again -- Josh * * *
