-=PCTechTalk=- Re: LostSpace - was -Backing Up

Ted, have you read the tutorial on the Acronis Forum which was prepared by 
Grover Hatcher?  Even though it was written for vers. 9.0 it might give you

your drives, not using ..., etc. Have you tried again to do the image or 
have you trashed the program?
