Yup & it's 30 days fully operational trial. Remember to make the Acronis Bootable rescue media builder. Or u can use the Dell's recovery DVD.

QUOTE(noien @ Nov 13 2008, 10:07 PM) acronis user friendly? Yes.  A lesson I learn the hard way. Make sure you use Acronis to validate your backup image copy. It will check for file integrity and also hard disk bad sector, the later was the one giving me headache once. |
