Stuart,

The next time you do this can you try hitting return to see if this activates 
the OK button on this screen?

I'd be 99.9% sure it would work but would just like it confirmed.

Thanks for all your info here this sounds like the backup package I've been 
after.

As far as I can remember there is only one option. The dialogue box says the 
operation successful and the user has to press the OK button. I have read the 
list saying some systems use a DOS screen this one does not.

Stuart,

This sounds promising.

What is on the  dialog that says the restoration has completed?

An OK button, Restart button, additional buttons/controls?

I'm trying to establish a if say a blind person left this restoration  bit 
longer than twenty minutes, lets say 30 mins to 45 mins to attempt to prevent 
someone mucking up their PC by hitting return on a Cancel button.
We might have a solution hat whilst there's no speech output at that final 
stage you could leave it for a suggested amount of time to allow for various 
factors none the least of these being system speed.  Said blind person could 
listen for disk activity and hearing none presume the process has completed.

Barry.

I have a little sight so use a mouse and ZT8 with speech as far as restoration 
without sight I can't really say yes with conviction but it does speak to me up 
to the actual restoration process.  When you ask Acronis to restore it tells me 
it needs to reboot = 1 click I then walk away and leave it to do its job. After 
about 20 mins there's a dialog box which tells me the restore was successful at 
this point there is no speech.

If this is not clear get back to me and I'll explain 

Regards
Stuart

Stuart,

Can you invoke the restoration without sight?  EG.  In Windows with speech 
running and it will auto-reboot and finish the job, coming back up into the 
restored image?

I have used Acronis version 10 and it works, its really easy to use and will 
create a system backup in about half and hour to an hour depending on your hard 
drive size; it also does incremental backups as well. The best thing of all is 
the restore feature it restores your system completely, with a couple of clicks 
with the mouse, ready for user to use.  I don't know about Windows 98, I use it 
with XP home.

Help this helps

Hi All,

For the first time ever in living memory, a question to the list has gone 
entirely unanswered for a whole day.  I thought maybe the subject-line might 
have looked uninteresting, so have changed it in hopes that somebody might have 
some thoughts.

My main question is: what is the best software to use to make an image of a 
hard disk, in order to keep all system files, registry and 
so-on intact?   The one I know about is Norton Ghost, but I remember 
there were doubts about accessibility, so any other contenders?

As a supplementary point I really need it to run under Windows 98, so would 
either need 98 support, or an older version.

Can anyone help with this please??  Pretty please???

Best,

Peter
