Hello Viktor - 

--8<--cut 

VP>>> Not really, PQ DriveImage is alive and well, the last
VP>>> version is 7.0 (AFAIK) and being sold for something like
VP>>> 80$. 

CA>> Once I decided I wouldn't pay the price for commercial
CA>> image copiers I stopped trying to keep them organized (in
CA>> my mind) as to which does what. 

CA>> Recently Fred Langa has written about some that only work
CA>> from within Windows and no longer boot from DOS? Seems a
CA>> bit precarious to assume that when needing to restore an
CA>> image copy Windows will be booting at that time? 

CA>> I personally use a shareware version of BootitNG and have
CA>> no complaints. I have restored my entire OS partition 14
CA>> times to date to recover from the previous owners mistakes
CA>> and some of my own. Tweaking W2K without an image copy
CA>> would be a huge mistake IMO. ;-) 

VP> The best drive image software is dd+gzip ;) 

With the majority of computer users using a GUI interface I
suspect that a command line utility would cause them problems?
When creating and/or restoring an image copy of an entire
partition is _not_ the time to become confused. ;-)
