Thanks, but unfortunately a no-go. Acronis has a link on their web site 
referring to issues with the laptop I'm trying to back up (HP).

From what I could dig up on the net, Norton Ghost 2003 should support win7 
without any problems (using CLI), only newer versions should not be working 
properly.

Heh, time to become creative: My next attempt will be trying to run Ghost from 
a VM within a *nix live CD on a USB pen that has all the necessary drivers.

*Anything* seems better than Win7 System Restore, as this beast takes forever 
to finish.

As Ghost is not "serving that" either, maybe you should try the Acronis boot disk, no?

To say it straight, forget about Linux's dd, and Acronis in this case, as I want
absolute reliablity, and neither do serve that.

I know Symantec is working on a new version of Ghost that works within Win7, so this
could be a common problem?
