I'll make your post a re-nomination if that's okay. I see it now: # Home Edition - Freeware So, I renominate Easus Partition Master! Sorry about the flip/flop. It is a fantastic program that I use pretty regularily on friends PCs. I always like to repartition and do a clone with xxclone to provide a beach head to fix it the next time. I probably need to moninate xxclone while I'm thinking about it. :)

Thanks! That is much easier! I'm checking out some other programs now... via dialup. There are a lot of really interesting programs that I've never heard of.
From: REM on 20 Sep 2009 09:07 NOTE: The xxclone home site is listed as an attack site from awhile back. Evidently someone found a vulnerability and set up malware installs somewhere on the site. I do not think that the program itself has been altered or tampered with. IE 6.x goes in with no warnings, while Firefox throws up a pretty strong warning. (1) PROGRAM NAME: xxclone (2) LINK: http://xxclone.com/ (3) DESCRIPTION: * Makes a self-bootable clone of Windows system disk. * Supports all 32-bit Windows (95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP). * Can restore the self-bootability in many cases. It takes only a minute to run. Everyone should keep the Freeware handy for just in case. * The Pro version is ideal for daily backup. * Supports common internal disk drives (IDE, SATA, SCSI). * Supports external USB/FIREWIRE drives (good for a laptop). * Competes with Norton Ghost, DriveImage, MaxBlast. * Much faster than any of them in typical daily backup. * Need not go to the DOS mode. Operates in regular Windows environment.

NOTE: The xxclone-xxcopy home site is listed as an attack site from awhile back. Evidently someone found a vulnerability and set up malware installs somewhere on the site. I do not think that the program itself has been altered or tampered with. IE 6.x goes in with no warnings, while Firefox throws up a pretty strong warning. (1) PROGRAM NAME: xxcopy (2) LINK: http://www.xxcopy.com/index.htm (3) DESCRIPTION: In particular it clones a bootable system in Win9x-ME. ME requires a DOS patch, though. A Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/2003/2008 utility which runs in command line mode. Comes with a 16-bit version (XXCOPY16). Duplicates the entire system drive which can boot Win9x). Keeps the same short name (8.3) in the destination as in the source The source specifier accepts wildcards in directory names also. Backs up directory incrementally without the use of archive bit. Synchronizes directories. Controls file attributes (keeps the source, destination attributes or none). Excludes directories or files from copying by wild cards. Handles a Cyclic Copy case much better than XCOPY. Qualifies files by file date/time (Before, On, or After). Deletes files or directories using the same powerful selection mechanism. Copies hidden/system files, and overwrites Read-only files. Flattens a directory tree into files in one directory. .... and many, many, intimidatingly more ... (over 200 command switches) Copies security information for NTFS volume archiving. Supersedes Microsoft's ROBOCOPY. Works very much like XCOPY with the same command syntax. |
