I don't recall, and I'm not technically inclined, anyway. However, here's the bottom
line: Zip and Xcopy work at the file level. DFSEE images (or Partition Magic or
Drive Image or GHOST images) work at the bit & sector level. That is what you need,
if you want to insure an exact duplication, and picking up *whatever* may be there in
the partition.
