Sorry to hear about Software User's bad experience but I couldn't disagree more with his review. I recently installed Powerdesk Pro 6 to work with XP Professional and it's fine. The update didn't derail it either. I used PD4 happily on my old computer with Win95 and 98SE. PD6 Pro is a great improvement on PD4 and so far it works happily with everything, especially with Drag-to-Disk on Synchronize, which is a real joy to me. Hibernation: no problem.
Don't be put off by one bad review. After a year of messing about with Windows Explorer since I pensioned off my old computer, it's great to have Powerdesk back with all the bells and whistles.

If you really need to connect PCs without a network, then this works and does so reliably. BUT... it's very hard to get it working on Windows95/98 machines.
I need to occasionally transfer files of up to 100mb between my work's IBM Thinkpad laptop running Windows 2000 to my home PC (3 yrs old Pentium 3 550) running Windows 98. I did have a home network, but I have an amateur home recording studio, with hard-disk recording of audio, virtual synthesizers etc, and this was being hampered by the network drivers.
On the Win2000 machine, it installed perfectly and ran first time (thought I had to disable the infra-red port for improved performance). On the Win98 PC, it wouldn't see the special gold USB cable without having to ... Read More:

Having read some of the more shocking accounts of users experiences with both Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image, I thought I would plump for a relative outsider. What a mistake. This software does not allow bootable media to be created, instead relying on a certain Windows PE CD to boot the computer, this takes ages. If you are using a laptop, you only have the one optical drive available, which has the Windows PE disc in, so removeable media is out of the question anyway. Similarly, this would not access my external USB2 hard drive to read an image file off there either. In short, it will only work over a network (I presume, since I haven't tested this).This software cannot restore an image to the system drive, which I would have thought to be an ... Read More:
