Free Backup Software for your HD
Hi,
I have found a nice deals. Western Digital offers free version of Acronis True Image - to use this you have to have WD hard drive: Quote: Acronis True Image WD Edition is available for installing and launching only when a Western Digital HDD is connected. Screens in attach.
more info and download: WD Support
If you don't have WD HD, don't worry. Seagate offers also similar software (Disk Wizard) available here: DiscWizard | Seagate
If you have Maxtor HD, MaxBlast is available here:

Great find Creer.
Anyone used Seagate and WD versions?

The Maxblast 5 and Seagate Disk Wizard work ok on my 7 x64.
The WD looks to be the version allegedly giving trouble on 7.
Macrium Reflect Free is much better than any of those. Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download
It is more efficient - smaller, faster , and allows scheduling as well as mounting to extract individual files.
It works with all makes of drives - and works perfectly on 7 x64. | | My System Specs | | OS Vista x64 / 7 X64
