Today I installed a Creative GeForce 4 TI 4400 video card on my Abit BX133-RAID motherboard. I have been using a Gainward GeForce 2 MX with no problems. When I turn on the PC with the new video card in place, I am no longer able to boot from the HPT370 controller.

Full image system hard drive backups

I am looking for a quick, affordable and easy to use software that will make full image system backups of my hard drives to CD. Have dabbled with hard drive backups using tape drives and even some where one has to tote around a spare blank drive for backup purposes.
