Yes, I've imaged plenty a drive. I make a DVD image once a month and create an image to external backup by-weekly. I've also used these images to restore full hard drive images.
It amazes me how in fact it does seem to make an identical image. Using Norton Ghost I would still have to end up reauthorizing jaws even though it was suppose to be an exact image. With Image for Windows I do not need to authorize anything at all and jaws comes up working just like before. I don't know about this silent restore thing, but when restoring an image I need only enter my password and accept the 2 or 3 prompts and off it goes. Its easiest if you partition your oS to C:\ and place personal files in another partition. When something goes wrong you need only restore C:\ and your OS is back in about 20 minutes. The benefit is that in Windows XP you can use 1 dual-layer DVD-r to create the backup. For Windows 7 you will need 2 disks. It will vary depending on what you have installed. You will not get any audio when restoring an image as it all happens before going into windows so your screen reader does not exist at this point. andre ----- Original Message ----- From: "reinhard stebner" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] image for windows Have you imaged a drive yet?
