Ted, your experience with Acronis True Image 8 has made me pretty cautions
about proceeding with my own tasks with Acronis TI 9. I wonder if one could
skip the creation of the rescue CD and go straight to the imaging
of the C Drive. And your experience of not being able to restore? That
makes me uneasy as well. I am doing a lot of "foot dragging" and
procrastinating!
I still have a lot of reading to do in the forums and maybe a visit to
Google might be in order as well.
