I don't know if this possible anyway with Acronis. Of course what I tried was testing how far you can go testing a bootable medium on a computer with a properly running OS. This time the computer didn't boot up from the cd. Then I made an iso file with Acronis and burned that with Nero Essentials at 44x speed (there was no other option) on another Verbatim cd. I wonder if this is normal, or if something is still wrong. In other words, I can't get further than this step. However, when I click on the wizard 'Restore Data' and then double click on the file 'recovery manager', I normally see the the option 'next', (greyed out till that moment), getting activated, but in my case, this doesn't happen. (I hope you understand, since English is not my native language). You can create two partitions on your system, one for data and one for applications, using Acronis Disk Director 11 Home.

Together the products provide you with comprehensive partition management and system protection.

The Acronis bootable cd burnt on a verbatim cd with the XP burn software, does start up at boot and then the Acronis software will startup. Acronis Disk Director 11 Home is an ideal companion product to Acronis True Image Home. Aussie42 and all the other good people at this forum, thanks a lot for your time!
