    I will be getting a new laptop soon and I will be messing around with the partitions on the hard drive. Now the drive is most likely going to be organized as follows:

    Partition 1: PQSERVICE - Recovery Partition
    Partition 2: Windows XP Professional
    Partition 3: Partition for personal files, music, documents, etc.

    Now I am looking for a drive imaging program that can backup the ENTIRE structure of the hard drive and be able to restore it in the same fashion.

    I used Acronis TrueImage but as far as I know it can only restore one partition at a time, but I want to be able to backup the entire drive and be able to restore the entire drive.

    Acronis can do exactly what you're looking for a program to do.
