hi guys,

first of all i want to tell that i m very happy to see a forum where people are sharing there knowledge and helping the novice users...

i recently purchased a dell laptop with windows vista. it contains a recovery partition of 10 GB. i want to make a bootable backup DVD of complete hard disk (so that if i accidentally delete the recovery partition or my hard disk crashes) , i can recover my complete hard disk with recovery partition in it.

i tried to create a .tib image of complete hard disk but an error occurred that acronis failed to read data from some part of hard disk... how can i create image of the complete hard disk with all partitions... i guess the error occurred because the recovery partition is protected by windows and windows stops acronis to read from recovery partition...

plz help as soon as possible...

See this thread which sounds similar to your problem. The boot CD version should do the job if that is indeed the issue.
