Image Windows XP NTFS?
« on: June 22, 2002, 03:08:06 PM »
I would like to make Image of a clean Win XP Pro installation, just not to be forced to install all over and over. I have one NTFS partition. Please in-depth advices.

Thanks in advance,

Stooovie

Typically, you would either need a CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RAM drive with Imaging software that supports writing to CD/DVDs, or at least a second partition or a second hard drive to create an Image.  In either case, use the Imaging Boot disk(s)* to boot your system and load your Imaging software, select the partition you wish to Image, select the destination device (a different partition than the one you are Imaging, a different drive, or your CD/DVD writer), and let it roll.

* PQDI 2002 supposedly supports creating images while booted into a Windows environment.  This is something I would *never* recommend.
