    i need new HDD imaging software

    i used to use a free version of acronis true image 7 they were giving out awhile ago, but i can't seem to find it to reinstall, i guess i never saved it

    i need something free or cheap that can work on SCSI drives with a controller card that requires me to have a floppy disc to install the drivers for the SCSI card during a windows install, i do not wish to run a floppy drive on the PC all the time though.

    something that doesn't need a floppy drive to run, like acronis can image in windows, and i could make a bootable CD if need be.

    any suggestions ??

    PCPro, a computer magazine in the UK...has a deal with Acronis to get True Image 8.0 Home Edition for free.

    http://www.acronis.co.uk/mag/pcpro/ati8pe

    Register...careful to pay attention for the "key" they give you once you complete registration...you'll get an e-mail from Acronis where you complete the registration and get another e-mail with your serial number and a link to download it.

    okay i can't get this true image verison 8 to install, tells me to reboot, i do so and still will not install, maybe a windows 64 bit deal.

    any other suggestions ?

    does DriveImage XML work any good ?

    Hmmm..not sure if this older version would support Win64. I usually just boot from the CD though..hardly ever do it through Windows.
