Please can any one recommend some software that will look at every 0 and 1 on one drive, and write that to anouther? A perfect mirror, copy.
My goal is to be able to install winxp to a raptor hdd, update it, put the DX 9.0c on it, install some basic useful apps like winzip, firefox, msn, acrobat reader; and then make a perfect mirror backup of this onto anouther partition on anouther hdd. Basically so that when I go through my quarterly refresh cycle, I can start installing my main games and applications on to a fresh base operating system with only the basic apps I need.
I dont expect to get such functionality from free software (although that would be a huge bonus!). Budget really is up to £30. Dont "lol" at me if thats unrealistic; I really havent a clue about these things.
PS. I dont want software that runs an agent in the background ala Norton Ghost (unless versions more recent than 2003 dont do this). Be it running straight from a bootable cd or initiated by a windows installed application, it must not require any nonsense installed.
