[dba-Tech] Copying and entire hard drive

Hi Bill:

That is an excellent idea. I will test both Ghost and Acronis before making
a final decision on which one to purchase. Right now it is just to get
things backedup and restored.

Thank you for your help

Jim

Jim,

I recently had a similar problem, blew up my hard drive and had not made a 
boot disk for version TrueImage 11. I downloaded the demo from Acronis, 
installed it in another machine, made an emergency boot disk CD. from that 
PC, booted my old PC and restored the hard drive. Version 11 is backward 
compatible.
As soon as I got the old machine working I made another recovery CD with 
that licensed copy and tossed the one I made from the demo (It's good for 30

days I think. If you really need a boot floppy this won't work because its 
about 42 megs.

Hi All:

This is a bit of an emergency...

Does anyone have a floppy drive copy of Ghost or Acronis True Image (I have
never used this product) that I can download? I have searched high and low
for my original CD but it seems to have been lost by either me or my
partner.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim
