Ah!  That explains the slowness.

It doesn't have to know the format of the drive as it mirrors it
faithfully.  You can work with entire drives, just partitions, or parts of
drives/partitions if you know what blocks whatever you are attemting to
mirror is.  That is what makes it powerful.  It just doesn't care.  You can
also make faithful mirrors of CD's, DVD's, floppies, flash disks, whatever.
 Given a entire mirror of a bootable media the end result will be bootable
too, if you know how to do this.

Piece of cake.

For sure.  I doubt very much they use TESTDISK.  ;-)

You need to be using Linux, or some other Unice to get the really good
stuff.  Even stinkin' OS-X has 'dd'!!!  Keep up with the past already
buddy!

Windows, any version, is an extremely crippled toy.

Life is good,
Maurice
