Gman ! Delighted to hear your dulcet tones again; and thanks for your reply. I feel comforted by your reply, even though I have NO hope of understanding it; my brain does not operate in your stratosphere. Just to give me final confidence, are you saying that an Acronis Backup written to FAT32 can be restored SEAMLESSLY to it's original NTFS situation (AND to any other NTFS situation) without corruption, or complication??

It's necessary for FAT32 to be used for the securezone so that it can be accessed from outside of Windows (pseudo-DOS). If it were set to NTFS, the energency boot disk would not have a chance at finding it. If you even have need to restore the backup, it will not have anyproblem saving it to the correct location using its native NTFS.

Having created a Secure Zone, I found it was a FAT32, whereas the rest of my Partitions are NTFS. I tried to change it by "Acronis Disk Director> rt click the Secure Zone partition>Advanced>change type> an X in a red circle appeared to stop me. If I ignored this and clicked on NTFS,HPFS I received dire warnings; so aborted the attempt. Question please ! Having created a backup in the Secure Zone (inFAT32) will I be able to Restore it to it's original location (which will be in an NTFS partition) ?? All advice will be gratefully received.
