Image your system with free Macrium

If you mean back up drivers from your currently running os, this seems to work well. It needs net bloatwork, can't recall if it wants 3.5 or 4.0 up.

That is indeed what I meant.

Thanks SIW2. :)

I am using the latest Macrium Reflect version and as usual, I image my hard disk by opening up Reflect in Windows but I have realized while restoring my hard disk with the restore/rescue media that I can also image my hard disk from the rescue media Windows PE environment. I wonder which is the faster method>?

It is the same once you got Macrium running. The installed program has the advantage that you can go back to your HTMLs and fast start the imaging - no need to make a definition each time. And then also you do not have to reboot the system each time.

Don't know if it's the "best", but I have used an app known as DoubleDriver to copy all the drivers to a USB stick. This makes it very easy to restore them later, or to simply replace a current driver with the one that I saved.

The advantage to doing it in windows is you can still use your system while it is doing the image.
Don't know which is faster.

A different program is faster, if that is important to you.
