Which disk image creation software is good for Vista?

I also VERY highly recommend Acronis True Image, as much as it grieves me to
agree with Malke on something.

I also use Acronis...
it works very well

I recently downloaded and installed WinImage Pro for 60 bucks. Haven't had a
chance to really figure out how the little devil works.

How does it measure up with Acronis.?

Before I downloaded it I frantically searched the web for comparative
information and was quite confused.

Thanks.

Boot your Linux partition and make a copy of the filesystem with dd

You did not say why, but now I know.
Please see the bottom of this thread.

Ghost has been compatible with NTFS file system for a number of versions.
Ghost Version 12 is Vista compatible.
The Ghost installation CD has been bootable for a number of versions. You
may need to reset your BIOS to boot from CD. If you have more than one
DVD/CD drive only one will be boot capable {in a tower system it is usually
the top drive}.

I recently changed to Acronis True Image for a new computer. So far I like
it; but have not needed to use it to restore. I did a number of restores
with Ghost versions 10 thru 12. For non-Windows drive or a drive with Ghost
installed, I could restore from within Windows.

Ghost 12 does not create a single file image anymore, or I do not know how
to use it.
Acronis does.
