Seagate provides a FREE download of their Seagate DiscWizard It is Acronis True Image, but slightly tweaked for Seagate. I have used it many many times for XP, and it is fairly 'idiot proof'. I cannot say the same for Windows 7 Imaging. Creating the image is 'idiot proof' Restoring the image is a mental challenge for me. Say I had just one partition on a drive, and I create an image. When you try to restore an image, you have to choose from three checkboxes - CMD 100 MB - OS (your real partition) - MBR Ideally there should be one box that you could tick to restore my simple one partition drive, BUT THERE AIN'T So I have to decide which of the three checkboxes to tick I would like to tick the lot, BUT YOU CAN'T You can only tick one at a time. I do not know which one to do first. And if that was not enough of a problem, you have to decide whether to make it Active (Do I make the CMD Active ?) (Do I make the OS Active ?) (Do I position the CMD Hard left) (Do I position the OS hard left) And if that was not enough of a dilemma, You are given two ways to Restore the other two checkboxes - - You can do a mini reverse (Before allowing the Restore) to tick one more checkbox, OR - You can Restore each checkbox one at a time. Either way, you still have to decide on making each Active, and 'hard lefting'.

Needless to say, I got it wrong, and am about to delete all the partitions (CMD apparently being considered a partition) and try Restoring again.

Could anyone point me to a tutorial for doing Seagate DiscWizard Restores of Windows 7
