    I'm using True Image ver 10 build 4942 and it takes about 2 hours to do a 9 GB restore using the rescue CD. Is this normal? I've tried to make a BartPE disk but can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Are you restoring from a USB hard drive? If so, is it a USB 1 or USB 2 connection?

    No, I'm restoring from an internal hard disk. Also, I forgot to mention, I'm using Windows XP SP2.

    Is this a partition image or whole drive restore? If so even a slow elderly computer should be able to manage 1GB per min. from one internal drive to another.

    But with no details of your computer specs. the extreme slowness could be from a variety of causes.

    The image is on a seperate eide drive which is partitioned into 3 seperate drives. The drive I'm restoring to is an sata drive which is also partitioned into three drives of which I'm restoring the first two. I hope this helps

    You might try the Safe Mode version (if you haven't). It sounds like the Linux drivers may not be optimized for your system. The Safe Mode version may actually be faster.

    Yup, I tried safe mode using the rescue CD. It's strange but even selecting the options is very slow

    Is it just the mouse that's slow or is the keyboard also slow? If it's just the mouse, you could use the keyboard. Tab moves the selection around, Spacebar checks/unchecks, arrow keys, Alt-[letter] for buttons, etc.

    If you're using a USB mouse or USB keyboard, check your BIOS for a Legacy USB option. You may get better results with it on or off.

    You can try making a VistaPE CD. Easier than making a Bart CD and can be used to restore an xp or vista hardisk. Just follow Mustang's Free Guide to building a VistaPE disk. The restore (using the VistaPE CD) should then work about as fast as an ATI backup performed within windows.

    You don't have to own Vista to make the VistaPE disk nor have a VISTA install disk -- see Mustang's guide for details:
