    Burn yourself off a copy of Hirens Boot Disk.
    You'll find almost everything you need on it

    saspro - is all of the software present on that disc properly licensed, do you know? It troubles me if used in a commercial setting!

    I stripped out anything that wasn't on the one I downloaded. All of the stuff I use on it is purely the freeware parts

    I haven't used it for ages - but if it's all freeware, I'll pop one back in my toolkit! Cheers.

    These days everything on Hirens is freeware, even tho it says its got Ghost etc on, you have to provide the executables etc so no actual 'cracked' software is there by default.

    I used Easeus todo backup free the other week, that was ok

    I worry mostly because I work in Intellectual Property, so licensing has to be up straight for me or I could end up in serious trouble (and also without a licence to practice)...

    I'm pretty sure some of the programs in Mini XP aren't all legal and above board though I may be wrong.

    So you're aware, the Clonezilla on Hiren's (or rather the Clonezilla in parted magic on Hiren's :p) can't clone UEFI based installations. You need the new 64 bit edition for that.
