How to take backup and restore of hard disk partitions

[LokanathaReddy.J]

Hi,
I am using XP. To take partion backup, we are planing to use
Acronus(like norton ghost) and trying to automate this process. After
restoring the image, its showing one message 'successfully done'. Here
we have to click 'ok'. I guess it is in DOS mode, with its own active
partion. Is there any other way to supress this dialog. Please help me
on these:
I am comfirtable with TC and Microsoft C. I know TSR programming and
interrupts.

1. How to change active partition
2. How to copy default program, which should run automatically from
active partition
3. How to copy used sectors/tracks(not empty) into a file.
4. How to restore the file into partition.

I am regeresoly waiting for solution. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Loka

You write "I am using XP", yet you post in a Windows 2000
newsgroup. Seeing that your question relates exclusively to
Acronis TrueImage rather than to Windows, the best place
to look might be the Acronis FAQ. Look for keywords such
as "scripting" or "automation".
