I am doing a basic recommend for this product that CSTL's company uses.Acronis
What it is: A great imaging software.
What it does: It makes a complete, full, image of your hard drive for you to use later if something happens like a virus or a major crash.
He uses it at work, and we use it here at home. Actually, a couple of years ago we found a 400g hard drive for like $60 during the Christmas sales. Now, when we visit family we take it with us and his copy of Acronis and update our image of family computers. It helps when they call him to fix it. Now he just has to see them to upload the image.
Really, it is probably one of the best software's I have seen. Nothing gets lost, and having an image on a separate hard drive is better than making back ups of important files on several disks. Really.
Glad you are all fixed Moonie!!
