Windows SIG for 3-3-2009

For the Windows SIG on 3-3-2009 I will be presenting a program called Virtual Drive Creator. This program allows you to create virtual drives, that are really only a folder but appear and act as if they were an additional hard drive. The program is easy and simple to use: Just enter the drive letter to create and the folder to substitute and click OK to create the virtual drive. To remove a virtual drive, click the Drive Letter and Click the Remove Virtual Drive button. This program can be downloaded from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/vdrivecreator.html

Acronis True Image

I have now actually used Acronis True Image 2009 to recover my hard drive. I had done a full image on Saturday morning and during the day, in changing some of the partitions, I changed something (in other words, messed it up). So I used Acronis True Image 2009 to restore the image I had made and verified that morning. It works great. With all the authentication and verification that I had the software do it took several hours, compared to days, weeks or possibly never to get my machine back where it should be.
