This program is a good partition manager, however, I have had this program completely corrupt my hard drive before so make sure you have a full backup of your files. I was lucky I did!

I haven't tried the professional edition, but I have used the free Home version for several months and it has been very reliable. There don't seem to be too many differences, except this works with 64 bit systems and you can make a bootable CD.

Comment to # 9 Ligamus: The program can make a copy of your harddisk and install the copy again. It is not clearly stated if you can do this via USB -ask their support. Back up programs like AcronisTrueImage does but costs $50. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
A free alternative is Macrium Reflect http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp.
Another alternative is Norton Ghost http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost $70 These programs make an image file of the harddisk which is much smaller and can often fit on a DVD - if the image is not to big. I know Acronis works well also via USB I am not sure about the others, earlier versions of Norton was not very reliable in my experience. I would go for Acronis. You can read more about backup programs at http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-drive-imaging-program.htm#macrium
I bought Acronis nine years ago and it have saved me from disaster several times. My best investment!

Vista Ultimate 64
Installed fine.
First I wanted to try the BOOT DISK. It can't do any harm to my system here. It made one OK. But But But
I went on a test drive. It booted up fine and two logo come up in blue. Then it asks me to type in a working video display number. 1 to 4. Two being the default at 800x600.
So I start at one and hit the Enter key and it reboots the system. Number one did not work. I go threw all four number which all reboot the system. It never displayed the main menu.
So boot disk is a failure.
What I don't understand is if it booted up and displayed their logo and company name it already knows the display. So why ask what video will work right.
Head shaking, I know now this is a program not play around in. I uninstalled it. I'll just sit back and see what the comments say.
I give it to the trash can.
