Yeah, I've been thinking about that need.... I do have older versions of
PQMagic's "Drive Image" and "Drive Copy" which I recently acquired along
with a few of their other utilities and never got around to trying.

Drive Image looks as though it could do the job for me by copying the D:
partition to another hard drive as a file (via boot-up Dr DOS diskettes) and
then "restored" later the same way if need be. Anyone have comments on that?
I don't have any removable media to write to except for diskettes.
