I never could get Ghost 9x to work on my XP box
and Drive Image 7x that was bought out and Renames to
Replace the old version of Ghost never worked right eith

OH the were ok for minor file imaging on physical drives
but would not Backup to a USB2 Drive, that's why I switched
to Acronis True Image 8, which is 10 times better than
the two programs mentioned above..


However, I have both Good News and Bad News
about True IMAGE ver. 9

I Purchased and registered True Image 8,
and Acronis gave me a Free Registered Copy
of the NEW True Image 9...


The ONLY thing I don't like about it, is that
I Does not Backup/Image to Blank DVD's,
It works Great on CD-R's and CD-RW's
But a Full backup Image takes 17-20 CD's

and ONLY 4-5 DVD's, but True Image will ONLY,
Backup to "PRE-FORMATED" DVD-RW Disk
and Both CD and DVD's don't come Pre-Formated,

Acronis Recomends that you Pre-Format the DVD-RW's
with "INcd" Format Utility that comes with the
$95.00 Version of Ahead's "NERO" ver. 6.6

Why should you have to Spend $100.00 on a
Competitors Product to have full use of True Image??

As Luck would have it, I did Buy the full Version of
NERO 6.6 and True Image did finally Backup to
Pre-formated DVD-RW's Formated by Nero's "INcd" utility
Basicly  what true Image did was create 17 seperate
CD files and Store them on 5 Pre-Formated DVD-RW disk..

To finish up this Long Story, I found out that
NERO Burning rom 6.6 does everything that True Image does
and IMHO, Better, and NERO has Full Support for Blank
CD-R's CD-RW and DVD-R's & DVD-RW (Plus or Minus)

and with back up to Unformatted DVD-R faster

Plus NERO has a Great LightScribe Disk Labler and
Biult-in Anti Virus checker..

So for thos who don't want to Spend the Buck twice,
Just go for Ahead's NERO Burnning ROM 6.6..
