I went and got Drive Image. Tried testing it out yesterday on my back up partition. I told it to span over 3-4 cdr's. It said it would need to restart so I let it. Immediately the BIOS started beeping saying the boot sector was going to be modified. I said no way and cancelled. Than it said fake floppy failed to unload (or something like that). Then computer started and the system configuration utillity started right away. Did the same thing this morning when I turned it on. I looked in the sysedit thing and didn't see anything in there for drive image. Any ideas here?

go into the bios and disable virus protection when u want to use drive image. Drive Image modifies the MBR to point to a floppy image to boot from so it can work. YOu can then enable the virus protection again when your done.

Fixed it. Turns out I should have said yes. So I just selected yes and it ran Drive Image and then I cancelled. All is well now. I gotta stop freaking out so early in the A.M.
