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
