I checked out you reply there. Many thanks for taking a stab at it.

As to your other problem it isn't something I am familiar with but see my

Thanks, John. I will proceed with great caution. I already have a couple
of
backups on external drives. So we'll see how welll this one works.
I do have another issue that I hope you can help me with. It is listed in
a
separate posting under "The Group Policy Client service failed the
logon.
Access is denied." in the "Windows Vista Administration Accounts and
Passwords" group. This one is pretty urgent and unfortunately caused by me
being too trusting of Symantec's Tech Support. Tough lesson learned very
much
the hard way. Never again. I hope you can go to that group, read the
posting
and suggest a resolution.
Thank you again for your help and advice.

Would I recommend you try it? Well the first thing you need to know is
that
ATI 2009 is 'beta' which basically means it is still in the testing
phase,
so if you try it and something goes wrong you only have yourself to
blame.
Okay the same thing can happen with RTM copies (Release to manufacturer)
but
the chances of something going wrong worsens in beta software.
Obviously the beta is free, so you could try it without actually
expending
capital on something that may turn out like all the other cloning
applications you have used. If it works okay you've lost nothing; if it
doesn't then you are back to square one.
All I can say is that, if you try this beta version, you ensure that you
first have a backup copy of your original hard drive saved, either to a
removable hard drive or a set of DVD's. If any corruption occurs on your
main hard drive (the one you are cloning) you can at least re-image your
backup back.
I'm sorry about the cautious approach but beta software can be
unpredictable
and you need to be aware of this before you start.
I've used Acronis for a number of years and haven't had any issues, so
you
could say that I like it' In most cases you will also find that the hard
drive manufacturers also use Acronis as part of their cloning software
generally distributed with retail hard drive packages.

I did download ATI Home 2009 beta last night. Sounds like you like it.
Would
you recommend I try it out for reliably cloning my system drive?

The only thing that jumps out at you with ATI 2009 is the new, crisper
graphical interface. The general 'workings' are the same as previous
builds.

ATI 11 Home is the 'current' version available for download;
however, I
am
testing the latest beta version imaginatively named ATI 2009.
Anything notable in that? I thought about playing with it, but
passed.
