Is there a free program that could make a complete IMAGE backup of your hard drive (cont)?

Here's a webpage that lists a lot of options with good reviews of each option:\n\nhttp://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/backupandimage.shtml\n\nI've never used any of the free programs, I've always used Ghost to create my images.

Creating an image of a hard drive IS backing it up. The alternative way to back up is copying files. Copying files has two advantages: the space needed is smaller and you don't really need to use any software (but it is better if you do).\n\nCreating an image of hard drive copies everything the hard drive contains; so you don't have to worry if you forgot something. This also means that your settings and programs will be copied as well--and reinstalling programs and restoring settings is, in my opinion, the hardest part of a computer crash. Also, you probably have things on your computer, such as bookmarks, email, address book..., that are difficult or practically impossible to back up without using an export function (which isn't available in many programs).\n\nTo be prepared, I suggest you buy an external hard drive (bigger than your current internal one), get a disk imaging program such as Norton Ghost, and use it make an image of your hard drive on your external hard drive every 1-2 weeks. In between backups, you should copy any changed important files to the external hard drive, just to be safe; since your computer doesn't care if you haven't backed up all your files recently.

You can try Irfanview, it's free (ACDSee and Photoshop are fine too but they're not free) from http://www.irfanview.com/ \nIt also has a nice batch edit function so you can resize a whole folder at one go.\n\nBasically if you resize to 1024 on the longest side and save as JPG with 80% compression, it should give you a file in the one to two hundred kilobyte range.

With a program liek Norton Ghost you should be able to create an "image" (a copy bit wise) of your computer's hard drive, this image you can burn on a CD or keep where ever you want...

I can recommend you Acronis True Image. Using True Image you can create a hidden partition on your pc for backup purposes only. This partition will be inaccessible for any software including malware. But I strongly recommend you to backup whole your system on the CD/DVD in case you'll encounter with a total hard drive failure.\nYou can purchase the latest version of ATI here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/\nOr download a free version here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/mag/vnu-ati7

For running an ISO file without burning it, I would recommend Daemon Tools, which creates a virtual drive that images can be mounted on.\nhttp://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5

I can recommend you to use True Image backup software by Acronis. This is a very reliable backup tool which can backup your system to the CDs or to the special hidden partition on your hard drive which is inaccessible for other software including malware. In case you want to backup only your operating system you'll need at least two CDs. You should note that the degree of compression is adjustable in True Image however it also depends on the type of the backed up files. In case you have some free space on your drive I strongly recommend you to backup your system both to the CDs and to the Acronis Secure Zone (hidden partition which I mentioned above). \nYou can purchase the latest and most fully-featured version of ATI here: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/\nOr download a free version here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/mag/vnu-ati7

There is no such magic script to "save" all your work. You cannot hope to preserve all your data, and here is why.\n\nThree broad types of information are involved - actually overlapping in Windows, and sometimes protected by encripting - both intentional (rare) or DRM (a devilish idea imposed by greedy content providers). \n\nFirst, operating system and application programs are the broadest category, which also exist on the original CD's or other media. \n\nSecond, settings and preferences are the next level and that information is (in Windows OS) scattered everywhere or in as many as four locations (in Linux OS). \n\nThe last category is data you have created, which is mostly in your home directory but can be anywhere, and often is in formats particular to the creating program. Don't get me started on proprietary formats, Windows' ace-in-the-hole in defending its monopoly.\n\nYou are likely in the "too infested to survive any more" mode that can be expected within as little as six months of running Windows on the Internet. You have my sympathy.\n\nThe old "format and start over" trick is no longer viable with Windows, because you will get re-infected before current patches and updates are downloaded. It simply can no longer be done except as a temporary "fix" by those not worried about being a Zombie to someone's Spam Factory. Not to mention the agonies of going out and finding missing drivers and the need to re-install your applications - and the risk of Microsoft deciding your installation is illegal.\n\nHaving been in the computer consulting field for many many years, it is my informed opinion that the situation with Windows on the Internet went to impossible about five years ago.\n\nSo, this is what I recommend. Note that this solution does NOT require you to back up or risk losing existing data on your Windows partition!\n\n1. Download and burn the Big Daddy ISO image from http://pclinuxos.com/ and boot the CD on your Windows computer. Get on the Internet with Linux and access your Windows files from Linux.\n\n2. After you have confidence that this arrangement actually works, click the installation icon on the desktop. Proceed to make your Windows partition about 10 gigabytes smaller (assuming you have that much to spare) and install the PCLinuxOS to the hard drive in its own partition.\n\nYou now have a fully-functioning dual-boot system. No more need to spend money on third-party malware programs - never. Not even the need to pay for programs in general, actually - and it is all legal.

You can use a commercial product like partition magic, or you can use a free one, which works just as well. The best and simplest free licence one is 'fips'(Stands for "First nondestructive Interactive Partition Splitting program"), which you can get off the internet. You can also use Windows FDISK, but this is a destructive one, meaning that it destroys files on the partition area. Try this website - www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/

Sometimes utility programs can do a good job recovering the data.\n\nbad copy pro works well for me

Windows has a built in backup program which can be used for this. Go to accessories/systemstools/backup and the wizard will walk you thought e process. You can also setup a recurring backup which will update the back up with all the files that have changed during the day at a set night every night.\n\njainnys\nMind Experts Inc.\nhttp://www.mindexp.com
