You don't need a complicated boot CD or expensive software to create a restorable system disk image for your PC:  free utility <A href="http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm">DriveImage XML</A> can save a full, working snapshot of your Windows hard drive <I>while you work on it.</I>  (That's hot.) When your PC crashes and burns or just slows down over time, the best insurance you can have is a mirror image of your operating system, complete with drivers, user settings, software applications, and documents in one place. A while back we covered how to <A href="http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/partition-and-image-your-hard-drive-with-the-system-rescue-cd-292972.php">partition and image your Windows hard drive using the Linux-based System Recovery Boot CD</A>, a process that involves command line work, disk-burning, rebooting, and video driver wrangling.  With DiskImage XML, imaging your PC's hard drive is a matter of a few clicks, no reboots required.  Let's check it out.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4BC9BB1E-1597-4805-993D-CDBE144F8B6A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
