    Hi @ Wilders

    I have just tried EAB. On backup it is quite fast. BUT, there is one problem that is a killer for me. That is, when you boot from a Flash drive into both backup and recovery, all the drives have incorrect drive letters.

    Terry,

    Drive letters are assigned by the booted OS. The partitions don't own the drive letter. If you put your SSD in my computer, the Windows partition on your SSD would not be C: drive when I booted my OS.

    In DOS, the C: drive is DOS. In Linux there are no drive letters. Many WinPE honour the Windows Drive letters. Most don't. EAB doesn't. The booted WinPE assigns the drive letters. When a computer is turned off there is no C: drive as there aren't any drive letters.
    It's more important to have labels for your partitions. In a WinPE I look at the partition label rather than the drive letter.

    Hi Brian

    Thanks for that. I didn't know it.
