Actually, that was the one I had been leaning towards. Downloaded the
manual for it and read through the newsgroup for it as well as
googling for others comments (I'm an engineer - I over-analyze
everything - just ask my wife !). So far, I am impressed with it,
just have not had a chance to download the trial version. I sure
was not happy with PM and Drive Image when they both refused
to even look at to disk to either back it up or modify the partitions.
Powerquest listed the error but was unable to explain the problem.
