Moving System Image
Got my new box a couple of weeks ago ( Win 7 64 bit ) . I
partitioned the drive and made a system image to one of the partitions , using Windows Backup and Restore. I also created a Boot Disk. After some experimentation , I'd like to do a fresh install , using the Win 7 DVD wipe out ALL existing partitions , re partition and start fresh. Before I do that , I'd like to move the existing images to my external hard drive. I know , I probably should have created them on the external drive first , but I didn't have enough space. At some point in the future , if I'd like to restore the image moved to the external hard drive , will the Boost Disk allow me to access it from the external drive even though it's been moved from it's original location ( which of course ,won't exist after I re format..) TIA !! Yes. You can even copy it to a USB memory stick and restore from there. |
