    I have an external hard drive and want to do a back up of my computer. I am willing to buy a program and was looking at Norton's Ghost or System restore or something like that. I am interested in anyone's thoughts on what is the best program these days. Thanks:)

    Better than Norton? Easy to use?

    Much better IMO, like Plaphon, "I'm totall for TI" and have been for 4yrs, easy to use to create HD images and even easier to restore one, pop in the boot CD and locate your HD Image backup and go, then within 30mins ( depends on image size ) your back to a point when your PC was working ok, saves having to install not just your OS again but all the software and your tweaks and settings.... that lot can take hours!

    Nice link Plaphon, cheers :)

    You have convinced me. Thank you both for your good advice. Just one more question - is one site better than another (aka cheaper )?
