You can find it on this page <a href="http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-free-software.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-free-software.htm</a><br /><br />Unzip the application and run the burncdcc.exe file.<br /><br />Place a fresh unburned CD disk in your optical drive.<br /><br />Click the "browse" button in the burncdcc application to navigate to the location you downloaded the Clonezilla file <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/latest/download?source=files" rel="nofollow">Download clonezilla-live-20110922-natty.iso (110.1 MB)</a> and select the file.<br /><br />If you aren't sure about the ones you have already downloaded, try again but save it somewhere easy to find...say your Windows desktop.<br /><br />One the file is listed in the "file image" line, your optical drive should be listed under the "device" line. If it isn't showing correctly click the arrow on that line to select the right drive that can burn the CD.<br /><br />I always select "finalize" checkbox when burning ISOs but that's just me.<br /><br />Click "Start" and it will ask you to insert your disk. If you have already done so it will probably spit the disk (or CD/DVD tray) out. Push the disk back in and click "ok" and the burning will start.<br /><br />When it is done you should be good.<br /><br />Use the CD to boot the system you want to capture the image of (assuming you have a portable USB HDD to place the image onto) and you should be good to go.<br /><br />If you put the disk in the same system right after burning you should still see some files and stuff...even though Clonzilla (thus the disk contents) is Linux-based.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />--Claus V.Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692921474310162470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-55928963841414462882010-09-05T19:02:13.260-05:002010-09-05T19:02:13.260-05:00On the topic of Windows XP System Restore; having ...On the topic of Windows XP System Restore; having worked in tech support when XP came out, I have a ton of experience using it. It is a very useful tool, not anywhere near the same as restoring an image, but it was generally the very first thing we tried depending on the specific situation, and it would probably fix near half of the issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-70519699521753068732009-06-30T16:38:01.476-05:002009-06-30T16:38:01.476-05:00Macrium Reflect is only free for NON-commercial us...Macrium Reflect is only free for NON-commercial use.

I've used a few of the free and pay options that you have listed and I found (personally) that Acronis fulfills all my needs plus some for my Windows needs. Sure its pay for for the price (@ $50) its saved me WAY more then $50 in time at work and home combined. I actually couple Acronis with MS Virtual so I can restore my PC\Laptop\Server loads to a virtual drive and use it for whatever purpose is needed and then simply delete when I'm done with it.<BR/><BR/>Great post though, its bookmarked for sure for future reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
