C: is drive 1 (or 0) which has the OS and applications. That showed 11GB. D: is drive 2 (or 1) to which I was trying to 'image' drive one. After trying the initial image the second disk showed only 4GB. As I mentioned, I did not see an option to compress the file. However, after several attempts I decided to give up, but in the meantime when I right-clicked on 'My Computer' icon to check Disk Management the computer...

thanks, that helps

I would like to have $10 for every time some one posted asking how to fix what one of them tore up. I know PL would too.

About the safest one, which is also free would be CCleaner Definitely would not recommend paying for any registry cleaner.

What are you referring to when you say C: is 11GB and D: is 4.5? Do you mean the size of the images? Try the Rescue disc and see if you get the same results.

Skype allows you to make phone calls via your internet service...It is generally less money then a regular land line...Is that what you are needing to know?

farley89hd--Read this http://iet.ucdavis.edu/pubs/skype.cfm and see what you think. Skype does not use your PC as a zombie to send out spam, but it may use your PC as part of the network to transmit someone else's call. I turn Skype off except when I make a call.

What is the best registry cleaner and is there a good free one

We don't usually recommend registry cleaners as they can do more damage than good.

Can we assume you are booting from the CD? If so, the option probably isn't obvious. On previus versions, when booting from the CD, at one point there will be a list of options on the left side of the window. You have to click on or select those to see the available choices. One of them controls the compression level. If you select Maximum Compression, you MAY be able to get your backup to fit in your available space.
