Hello
I have been using Image for Windows for ages and indeed an excellent
program.
I image to an external USB drive. The boot CD created is DOS and as
indicated below not accessible; I prefer to image to an external drive and
happy to get sighted help in the event that restore of the full image is
required (if you make an image to a CD than a few keystrokes can restore the
image with no assistance).
The software also comes with a viewing program which is accessible where you
can restore individual files or folders.
Regards
Isaac

James,
I have pasted below a message from john coley about this subject.
I have got Image For Windows as suggested by John and can confirm his
findings. Very easy to use and has worked well on all 3 of my hmachines
using xp home, media centre and Vista home premium.

Hi Everybody, a while ago there was a thread regarding accessible drive
imaging. Someone suggested Image For Windows, made by Terabyte Unlimited. I
have now had opportunity to put it through its paces, and can confirm that
not only is it an excellent imaging utility, but totally screen reader
friendly. You can either save the image to another drive, or, which is even
easier from a blindness perspective direct to dvd. The advantage of burning
to dvd are not in the creation of the backup, but the restoring, at which
point there is no speech feedback. Another plus in burning the image to dvd
is that saving the image to a drive or partition A: requires booting from a
floppy, and many pc's now don't have them, and B: It would be impossible
without sight to tell the program where the image is.
In the case of DVD restoring only requires two keystrokes. It's also much
cheaper than other imaging programs, only 28 quid. The link to the image for
windows page on the Terabyte Unlimited website is

Hi,
I've just purchased a new computer, and after setting everything up the way
I like it I would like to make a backup image of the hard drive, so in the
event of a system crash or error or problem I don't have to do a full
format, I can just restore the image. So, my question is, what, from your
experiences are the best pieces of software to complete this task? I know
there's Norton Ghost, but I'd rather avoid Norton if at all possible. Thanks
in advance.
