thanks fellas, yeah i had this.... when i installed and ran, i couldn't figure out how to do a simple HD backup.... i seen tons of network options and all this other crap...

Im taking it this will create an IMAGE file and then i gotta burn the image? it will be bootable.................also, i downloaded POWERQUEST Drive Image 7... this looks like a nice a$$ program i think i might have to check it out for backing up and then i'll make a post back in here on how well it was.

thanks for your help fellas
