Id prefer a bootable floppy/cd but does anyone know how to backup a laptop
with only one harddrive slot to a another harddrive? problem is the bootable
stuff i have doesnt recognise the usb port ,so the software doesnt see my
USB harddrive. Looks like my only option is a windows based backup [unless
someone knows a workaround?]
All help appreciated
Cheers
Cameron

I guess the moral of the story is the fact that although several of
those disk image creating programs allow you to do it straight from
Windows, it may not be a good idea because there are many processes
running and who knows what may happen. Doing the image from DOS,
bootable CD or even a bootable floppy would be probably the best,
whatever promises the software vendors give about the ability to run
this stuff straight in Windows.
