Why do you want to think about sector sizes and partition tables? I'm pretty sure Acronis TrueImage has a trial period. Just backup the whole disk, then boot from rescue, and restore the whole disk. If not, then consider Paragon Backup & Recovery, or Terabyte Unlimited: Image for Windows (you actually need Image For Linux boot CD to restore) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
