    hey guys for reasons I don't know and can't fix, I cannot boot from my CD-drive, so bootable cds/diskettes are out of the question. Anyway here's my problem: I want some good software (unless windows can do it) to backup (save bit-for-bit image including MBR) a drive. The drive I need to back up won't be my system drive though, it will be from my other computer which should make things easier.

    Does anyone know a good piece of software for this?

    Thanks :)

    Unfortunately, it's not right now. I checked with an Acronis rep via live chat, and was told that the download server is down for maintenance, but should be up by sometime tomorrow.

    I was also told that while the regular download server is offline for maintenance, anyone who wants to obtain a trial copy of the full version of True Image 11 Home can contact Acronis customer service via live chat from the [url="http://www.acronis.com/company/contacts/request/index.html?t=1]Customer Support webpage[/url] and they will provide you with an ftp download link and a temporary serial number that will allow you to install a full version of True Image 11 Home for a 15-day trial period.
