    I decided to buy and install this software since I heard good things about it and it's only US$9.99 at the moment (look under tech deals forums).

    I need some tips from those of you using this software:

    (1) How much space should I allocate to the Acronis Secure Zone? Since this can be increased/decreased anytime, I can just allocate minimal amount right? Currently @ 20gb, left 5gb after a full image backup.

    (2) Is there any way to prevent the Acronis Loader from showing up during boot up? Now when I boot up I see the Vaio screen twice :confused: a waste of a few seconds...

    (3) How do I do a full image backup to bootable DVD?

    Thanks all!
