Has anyone ever used Acronis disk imaging? I have the home 2010 version, and have never really done any imaging. I have some spare hard drives and have been meaning to try and test this out.
I have a fresh install of Win7 with a few programs. Everything is on C: there is no other partition. I want that image saved in case I need to redo the machine quickly. I boot into the bootable DVD of acronis loader I created. I go to partitions to back up. I see DISK1 which is my external USB HD. Below that I see DISK2 which is the 500GB HD on the PC with the O/S and programs. NTFS (System Reserved) (C:) Pri,Act 100 and NTFS (Unlabeled) (C:) Pri 465GB What I don't understand is why is there a C and D listed, when I only have a C: drive with everything loaded on it with this particular PC? What happens if I restore this to a fresh HD on the same PC? Will I have a C drive of 100MB and a D drive with the O/S and Programs?!
