    Thanks so much everyone for all your help!! i think i am going to create the image again cos the file sizes dont seem to look right. When i go to create the image it automatticly highlights my C partition which is windows 7 and my H partition which has my apps on but its also highlights my D partition on my other HD which has XP installed on it cos i have a dual boot setup but there is no way of unticking it!! i dont want a system image of that just windows 7.

    If i was to use the image i created without the dam D partition of course when i restore it on my windows 7 hd will my hd now only have these 2 partitions on it or will i still have my other 2 partitons as well that i did not backup within that image i created?

    sorry if i sound confusing kinda hard to put it into words

    thanks again

    Do you have an over-riding reason to use the Windows imaging tool?

    It "works" if you know how to work it, but I found the interface confusing.

    There are free options that (to me) are considerably easier to operate and more flexible, such as Macrium Reflect Free Edition:
