    With my optimistic hat on, I have downloaded the trial and will give it a go later......with my realistic hat on.....I'm not holding my breath :) .

    Absolutely. I see that EF V9 is now a 88MB download which compares to 57MB in V8.1 and 10MB for V7.2.1. So, to me, that's 78MB less code to go wrong :) .

    Well, I've tried it out now and if it weren't for the "v9.0" in the about box then I really wouldn't know that I wasn't using v8.1. I've also tried out the in-built imaging and there is no option to include all sectors, unfortunately.

    I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of code improvements under the surface though.

    For that matter, other than the limited imaging functionality introduced in v8.x, do you see any benefits in v8.1 over v7.2.1? - I sure don't.

    As an XP user, none whatsoever. I get on fine with v7.2.1 :) . I think there were some significant tweaks in v8.1 though, to help it get along with Vista better.

    I installed a trial version of eaz-fix v.9 from this link:

    so what's the big difference (except for less drive image) of ver. 8.1 vs. ver. 9 of RBRx?

    my ver. 8.1 is working excellent, not sure if it's worth it to downgrade to ver.9?

    This point has been raised over at the HDS Forum and details on on what has changed has been promised.

    Also, existing users of RBRx get Drive Cloner Rx for free when they upgrade (no comment about value for money at this point...I am only stating the facts as I understand them from posts over at the official forum). :D
