For anyone who has used Norton Ghost to build an image,
Acronis True Image Pro 8.0 will be a breath of fresh air. Here are the
features:
- Easy to use GUI interface
- Can be used inside
Windows XP, no need to boot into DOS
- Reasonably priced, I
purchased my copy for $32.50 from newegg.com, Norton Ghost appeared to be
priced about twice as high
- Can mount images as drives
and browse the contents.
I downloaded it, installed it and made an image in about a
half hour. I did not need to create any 3.5" floppy boot disks ala
Norton. Everything was done inside Windows XP. I love it when you
can buy software quickly, it does what it says its going to do and you can go
on with your life.
*one note, the software is $50 on Acronis' site but can be had cheaper on newegg.com or a similar site.
