wont work with clonezilla, vista will start a nagging itchy error message not registered, register and activate now.you need to use robocopyrobocopy /? type the params robocopy is same as cmd shells xcopy /? and ignore the page file. robocopy is a vista built in replacement for xcopy and its cli based. i think they gave a GUI too. plus if you are like click click rhodent rhodent? buy acronis backup manager, it will do it for you while you back up! hope this helps!
