Re: Save entire hard disks

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I use norton ghost. Others use acronis true image. They will back up the
entire partition to a second partition and do incremental backups and
compress the image. When you restore the restored partition is the same as
it was when you made the backup so any installed programs will work the same
as when you made the backup. You wont need to reinstall all your programs.
