I am a big Acronis fan, but if we can get a benchmarker's special, I am in

Should work nicely on my USB boot drive

Recreating my boot stick now (going to image as soon as I get all the futuremark stuff installed on 7

32 Minutes to create a max compression backup of my TB raid stripe (40-50 GB used spanning 4 partitions to ~10GB in 4 files)

Little slow but works on raid arrays which can sometimes be an issue

LOL oops on of the backups was a waza folder :p

Thanks for that comment

Rebuilding my array with a 4 boot setup

V64, 7-32 and 2 WinFLP installs. (one 2D one old school 3D)



Imaging it BEFORE I install drivers so should work well if I swap out mobos

You may run into some problems swapping boards, especially if the chipsets differ too much, since windows registers devices during install.... You'll know when you do. I've had a project going on for a while where I am attempting to create the ultimate install usb stick.... It's a much bigger task than I originally thought, since different os's use different loaders and what-not.

I have swapped boards alot. I would not recommend anyone else doing it, but so far I have no had trouble but I have not gone from a socket 462 Athlon to an X58 intel chipset yet lol

Uninstall proprietary drivers (IE chipset) things of that nature
power down swap stuff. Power up, wait restart boot back up and install new drivers.

I will be swapping out for a better X58 board next so do not expect any difficulties at all.

I will have a post driver install imaging as well.

The multi-boot madness continues......................


Video coming up on the Overclockaholics Channel on Youtube shortly displaying several operating systems on one boot loaded on one hdd.

Goes something like this.....
1-Win XP Pro KN 32 bit
2-XS OS 32 bit
3-Stripped 3D xp 32 bit
4-XP Pro 64 bit
5-Server 2003 R2 32bit Enterprise
6-Server 2003 R2 64bit Enterprise
7-Vista Ultimate 32 bit
8- Vista Ultimate 64 bit
9-Server 2008 R2 32 bit Datacenter Full
10-Server 2008 R2 64 bit Datacenter Full
11-Windows 7 Starter Edition
12- ***** No Room Left ***** Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
13-******No Room Left***** Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I miscalculated the sizes that the partitions needed to be for each os. Trial and error. Now I know how much actual space each operating system occupies on its individual partition and compensate for page file and room for 3D benchmark apps and it should be a sweet deal finding out which os has the top guns.

IF you are trying to cram Vista/7 onto a 15GB partition, you can do it, you just need to go in and disable pagefile/hibernation and system restore Frees up a good 6-10GB depending on RAM installed

As I said via PM, I had Windows 7 at about 7.5GB install size just from those tweaks. Was good for a bench OS but one game install filled the rest of the drive LOL
