hd backing up help

tipsy · 26 Feb 2009 at 19:27

I've tried to back up my new pc with ghost & make a bootable image but sadly ghost wont reconise the hard drive so I'm after a program that will allow me to make a bootable cope of my install of xp incase of issues.

thanx in advance

Acronis is good, been using this for past few years, They also do a trial.

is it easy to do? as I'm so used to ghosting things

Yes it's easy, and now renowned to be better than Ghost.

Terabyte Unlimited's Image For Windows/DOS/Linux. Great software, and even better when combined with Terabyte's BootIt software. You can get the whole bundle for just under $50

You can also use Driveimage XML which is free.

Paragon software is also really good. It recognises everything I have used it on where others dont. Also you can get it to boot off a usb pen which is handy.
