just for the sake of clarification, image and clones are diff

xxclone is nice because it only copies data from the drive to the cloned drive its doesnt clone empty space!

image is a diff animal, you can restore from an image file and trash it again, restore again etc

awhile ago I trashed two of my boot cloned drives with my new motherboards chipset drivers, before I read the very fagiue asus website

anyway, i had two boot drives the second came from xxcloning

I trashed them both trying to install the chip set drivers before I read you have to install an earlier version of the chipset drivers first or use a lesser bios revision first blah blah blah

but I was in a pickle and was really torqued then it dawned on me I had stashed a drive image file away on an old ide hard drive bam, I was back in business and very happy

after trashing two more OS boot drive environments, I figured out on my own, that it was the chipset drivers doing the harm.

never lost a thing though! and in that whole mess, I never had to re-install a thing!

now thats fun.

enjoy
