HI,
I have been looking for some article or guidance how to make my windows and drivers and other application to a bootable image (DVD) which is already installed on my desktop PC (total used size of my C drive is 4.24GB). Like most the laptop manufacturer preship the "restoration CD" I used Acronis True image but this letting me to do the image in to other partition of the drive(not on DVD), even if you burn the same it requires Acronis boot disk first. I am wondwering if something happens to my entire hard disk then there is no use with created image on other partition. How to make a bootable image of my entire harddisk on a DVD so that some thing happens to my hard disk then, I can restore my windows ,drivers, application to a different hard disk on the same pc. Shan

Shan Use Acronis True Image to create the image directly to your DVD drive. You will of course still need to have the Acronis boot disk to recover your files from the image file created on the DVD Duke

Shan Sorry, I was wrong about requiring a separate boot disk when restoring files with Acronis. If you look in the Tools \ Options \ Default Backup Options \ Media Components : check off the option "Place Acronis Full Version on Media" or "Place Acronis One-Click Restore on Media" By setting all these default settings to your liking, you won't have to go thru them each time you do your backup with Acronis. Personally I think Acronis True Image is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Good Luck........ Duke

Thanks Duke, I think this is the best option by clicking " Acronis One-Click
Restore on Media" while making the backup; so the Acronis bootup/restore contents will be copied to the same DVD - am I correct?

Duke Yes I believe that is correct, but as I never used that option so you will have to try it to confirm. I do my backups to an external hard drive in an Acronis Protected Area, using the logic that it is unlikey that 2 hard drives will fail at the same time, however not impossible. Your concept provides a more secure backup. Duke

Are you referring to the Acronis Protected Zone? If so, I was under the impression that feature stores the backup on the SAME drive, but in a hidden partition.
