Hi, My Toshiba laptop has HDD rEcovery partition along with recovery utility. As for backup and recovery methods, Image for Windows would work. I personally use GHOST.

HI, On my Linovo Thinkpad x60 there is a bakcup and restore utility called Rescue and Recovery, as long as you can get into Windows both backup and restore works with JAWS. There is a special menu if you cannot boot up but want to restore aan image from the internal hard drive or an external disk, and to use this function you need a sighted person. I cannot find out if this product is only bundled with IBM and Lenovo machines or if it can be downloaded or purchased and used on other hardware.

A two part question. First off, is there any way for me to recover my system if the drive that the recovery files are on, is on a drive that is petitioned? If so how, and can I do this using jaws. My educated guess is no. Question 2, is there software out there that will allow me to make an image of my c Drive so that if for some reason my computer goes down, and I have to reinstall everything, I can without having to download and install all of my programs again. What program is best with jaws? I am asking these questions, because my home computer has gotten infected with multiple viruses. Thanks to Avast, I think I have the problem under control, but probably won't be sure for several days. Any help is appreciated as always. This is a great list.
