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

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

Gary,
Agree. We be InSync! I'll have to ruminate on Greg's share a bit more.
Yet, I suspect Greg is close to a truth... :)
I run on OS for 20yrs before upgrading; I feel no breeze!
Best,

Hi Duncan !
My initial comment on the 1 TB HD was meant to be sardonic (?) I
think that is the right word. It does boggle my mind how much storage you
can cheaply put on a desktop PC for very little money. I remember paying
$1000 in 1985 or 86 for a 80 MB external HD for the Mac I had.
Gary,
Fair enough about the OS business. Trying not to sling and start a war.
Poking a bit. Sadly, I quite agree with you mostly!
About the Video Card business: I have zero clue. I sorta gave up around
"GF4-tech."
Seems the envelope will be driven by gamers that keep demanding,
"Real-Life!"

Hi Duncan,
Accepting, I guess yeah to a point. Not sure exactly where that
point is to be sure. But I do understand that code efficiency is not
valued by large corps for one thing. Another is that the OS of today does
a lot more then what say OS/2 or Win 3.1 could do. That has to make
Gary,
So you are accepting OS Bloat? Like because you can now buy a 1TB hard
drive?
Sorry. I'm still in Soren's camp ATM.
I don't expect M$ to be perfect and/or crisp with their OS. I have
watched M$ OS since WFWG3.1 (actually MS-DOS v3.1). :)
M$ has done a poor job of bloat redux
Given that you can buy a 1tb drive for $75.00, I guess I am not too
concerned at how large the OS is. That is the downside for more "features"
I guess.

I just installed Win7 64-bit Ultimate on one of my partitions.
It's taking up about 20 GB, which includes a 3 GB hibernation file
