Anyone know of any good info on these topics?
I'm sure there is a lot I need to learn about disk management before I dive into this. I would like to use a freeware partition management program IF THEY ARE DEPENDABLE. Otherwise I will buy one, it's just that I'm a member of the poor people's club. I am open to recommendations by BC members about good programs and how-to articles.
I've recently begun using Acronis True Image Home 2009. I'm just getting familiar with it, it does have some quirks, but I think once I get used to it it will be dependable. Now that I can do partition images to my spare HD, I want to divide my main drive into at least a couple of partitions to seperate my data files from the XP SP3 OS. I need to read about recommendations and ideas about how to best do this. I have one restore partition that came on the main drive, which I think I don't really need anymore since now I have my own recovery software. Or should I keep it?
While I'm at it, I ran into some problems using DVD+RWs for automatic small file backups. there is obviously some things I need to know about using this media. I keep getting corrupt files and lockups when using them. So I guess that's on my list of things I need to learn more about.
Thanks,
Rusty
