Billyus,
    I have used drive image for years and have never had problem 1
recovering from a completed backup which I always wrote to a second hard
drive. .  I even had to replace the C:Drive and after formatting it and
setting it as Primary, The entire disk was completely written and I had my
system complete as it was before the crash.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
