Keeping different versions of system images
If you're saving your system images on an internal or external drive, or on CDs or DVDs, you can keep several versions of system images. On internal and external hard drives, older system images will be deleted when the drive runs out of space. To help conserve disk space, you can manually delete older system images.
Backup images are saved as backup periods in this format at the selected saved to location like the example below.
(backup location)\WindowsImageBackup\(computer name)\Backup (year-month-day) (time)

In this tutorial it walks you through where they are by default and how to change them.
User Folders - Change Default Location
Right now if I click Start and my Username above Documents. All these Folders have been changed to my DATA partition. Originally they sat in C:\Users\Username but I changed them to D:\...Users Folders

ah yes, i see... ok so ill just need to move the locations of all those folders - seems easy enough
i still want to install everything to my C: drive (programs, etc...) right? just keep all my data to the other drive (partition) so that if needed i can just restore the image to the broken C: drive without losing all my data and files?

thanks, now i understand... ill get that done tonite
a couple more questions..
how do i know that windows recognized my drive as AHCI? i set it that way in BIOS before i installed, is that enough? is there a way to verify?
also, i said earlier that my temps with asus pcprobe II were in the mid-high 30's °C at idle so i figured my heatsink was fine... i let it run for a few mins while i was watching tv and a couple minutes after it went to screen saver and then my monitor went to powersave mode it gave me an alarm and said the temps were now at 60°C+ as soon as i woke it back up and it got back to the desktop they dropped (within seconds) back to 37°C-38°C... its not really getting that hot, is it? it must be some sort of setting or something that causes it to read higher when in sleep/screen saver mode, right?

sorry for all the posts in a row.. i moved all of my folders over to my Z: Data drive.. with the "desktop" and "favorites" folder it created another folder in the original location after i moved the locations... is this normal? can i just delete them? the locations for them are C: drive, and when i click properties on them I dont have a location tab to change them anymoreLast edited by DirtyElf; 30 Sep 2010 at 19:42.

Can't speak for issue about temps or ram, but for the user folders, yes its normal and you don't have to delete them. I still have them in both DATA and in C:/Users/YourUsernames/Desktop and C:/Users/YourUsername/Favorites

ok, ill just leave them there... they dont seem to be hurting anything.. no data will be stored in the C: versions of the favorites or desktop folders, correct?
ill try my ram/temp issue in the hardware forum maybe
thanks
