Acronis Disk Director is no doubt the best, but I've been told that Windows 7 has issues with it. But since you guys are still recommending it I am beginning to wonder why I have been told that. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.
OS XP, Seven, 2008R2
CPU AMD, Intel, VIA
Motherboard Various
Memory Corsair, Kingston, etc.
Graphics Card ATI, NVIDIA
Monitor(s) Displays Samsung
Keyboard qwerty
Hard Drives Maxtor, Western Digital
Internet Speed 22 Mb/s @ home, 1 Gb/s @ server
Other Info All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.
