    One thing is rarely explained about free imaging software : most of them (or all...) won't let you load ICHR drivers (Intel RAID "F6" drivers), or others "F6" drivers. I tried half a dozen of free softwares, and finally I got Easus ToDo Backup,  wich comes with Windows PE environment, and has an option for additionnal drivers.
     
    Free softwares were Linux based, and did'nt work for me. (Acronis, Clonezilla, etc.)

    why make it simple when it can be complicated ????
     
    rig 1 : Asus P9X79-E WS / i7 4930k / 3-way SLI EVGA 780ti / Quadro K2000 / watercooled / 3D Vision Surround / 3 x Samsung 2233RZ + HP ZR22W
    rig 2 : Asus P9X79 WS / i7 4930k / 2-way SLI 770 / aircooled / 3D Vision / Samsung 2233RZ + Samsung 2232BW + HP ZR22W
    rig 3, 4 5, etc. : uninteresting !
