Sata

Does anyone know of any free software that can be used to create images of sata drives onto a bootable cd?

 

Is this for a backup purpose?

 

yep, i have a program that takes hours to setup and gets updates from the net. i would like to create weekly backups of this drive to bootable dvd's.

 

there are a lot of backup software but i wouldn't recomend you to use free ones, in most cases they don't work properly, and if you value your data you get a famouse and reliable one(IMHO). as for me i use true image and it has the feature to burn backup file on dvd disks on schedule, some people prefer Ghost, but i don't like it al all! as for free ones check this:

looks like true image won't work on windows xp 64bit

 

also may not support sata? ghost also has issues with sata to dvd

 

no True Image Have fully support of win x64, and supports SATA drives! here it is:
