www.computersworth.com has it for $22.

Thanks for this recommendation. The people from Geek Squad at Best Buy also recommend and use Acronis. BTW, Amazone has the new Acronis True Image Home 2010 for $19.99.

Now here is my problem/question:

I want a clean install of Windows. So I am going to make a mirror image of C: to my WD Passport disk. Then I install Windows. Then I copy the image back from WD passport to C:. Will I have still the new Windows (and saved files) ... or will Acronis also copy the "old" Windows and I have the same old Operating System before I started?
