Also I think that if you are running a demo of Image for Windows you will not be able to either make or restore a back up, I can't remember if it is both or one of the actions but don't go making a backup thinking you can restore it because it wont until you have a legit copy of I for W.

Long ago I tried using the new drive formatting tool in Windows 7, and it was so limiting that after wasting a weekend trying to get it to work, I simply used a third-party product and created my partitions in minutes. I was very angry but I guess that's what I get for trying to get Ferrari performance from a Toyota.

I have used it to backup. It would require sighted assistance to recover. I use to use acronis on my old xp machine. Again I could not recover without sighted assistance. I listened to the tatorials that David made. They are great that prompted me to download the program. I did not understand why the install wanted to make a dos cisk now I understand. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Robbins Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 9:36 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] image for windows Lenny, Although this has been somewhat answered already, the bottom line is if you make the DOS recovery disk you will need sighted assistance to use it which, in my opinion, negates the reason most of us on this list chose to go with the program to begin with. David's new tutorial, Image for windows 3, gives another way to get around this if you don't want to use Optical disks. David & I have both used the USB bridge way very successfully. I'm still using Window's XP pro but I've hear there is an image backup built into Window's 7? Have you used it and is it able to be used without sighted assistance?

One of the default install options is to create a dos recovery disc. Is this necessary? I am using windows 7 32 bit. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.
