I have found a program (well, not found its one I bought for use on my PC)

That will successfully perform disk imaging of the MS hard drive...

Copies the image EXACTLY as it is, so if you ever change a hard drive, or are like me and just like to make regular images for backup purposes (and its a far far better system than JUST a backup, which really only backups data) you find it useful.

I first had the idea when I noticed that when running a disk restore on my PC, the program actually boots into a mini Linux kernel, so I thought... "I wonder???"

So I tried booting the MS with the boot disk, and yep, it runs sweet on the MS, and then allows me to do a full hard disk image (ext's swap..all of it) to an external backup USB drive...

So if anyone is interested I can send you futher details......
