This program copies a disk as a raw image from one drive directly to another. This utility is designed for people who have a faulty drive and want to transfer the data directly to another drive without doing a file by file copy. This saves the need for operating system re-installs and allows drives with an unknown file system to be copied (including from console game machines, data recorders, mac etc). The program has a built in data recovery function which will attempt to recover data from bad sectors to ensure all the available data is restored from the drive. NOTE: This program is designed to run under NT/XP/2000 or later operating systems. It will run under windows 95/98/Me operating systems but only windows logical drives can be copied.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepal’s deposed king planned to move Wednesday from what was once his palace to a summer home the government has loaned him just west of the capital, officials said.
Nepalese national flags flutter in place of the royal flag in the Narayanhiti palace in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Nepal’s Constituent Assembly, which abolished the monarchy last month and declared Nepal a republic, ordered former King Gyanendra to move out of the palace by this week.
Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula said Gyanendra’s aides told the government he would leave the Narayanhiti royal palace in Kathmandu on Wednesday and move to the Nagarjung summer palace.
The main palace has been his home since he became king in 2001.
Nagarjung palace, situated on a forested hill on the northwestern edge of Kathmandu, was previously used for vacations by the king.
It, like many royal assets, was nationalized by the government when the monarchy was abolished.
Gyanendra had asked the government in Nepal to help find alternative accommodation after he was ordered to move out of the main palace.
He said he could not move back to the house where he had lived before becoming king because his son and his family were already living there.

A passenger plane has burst into flames after crashing at the main airport in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.
Witnesses said the plane, thought to be carrying about 200 passengers, caught fire after veering off the runway while landing during a storm.
Local media say more than 100 people on board were killed in the crash and subsequent fire.
Sudanese officials said it was a Sudan Airways flight from the Jordanian capital Amman via Damascus, Syria.
Witnesses said the plane’s emergency chutes had deployed and that some passengers had managed to escape, but there has been no official confirmation of this.
The BBC’s Amber Henshaw, in Khartoum, says there was a sandstorm and heavy rain at the time of the crash, at approximately 2000 (1700 GMT).
The plane split in two after landing and caught fire, local police official Mohammad Najib said.
Television footage showed the wreckage ablaze as emergency workers tried to fight the fire in the darkness.
