Creating full Image of Hard disk System & recovery partitions (Dell)
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Vista Home Premium factory installed and now I need to install Windows 7. Before doing that I want to make sure I can restore my computer exactly to the way it came if anything goes wrong in the process of installing Win 7 or I needed back my original laptop with Vista.
Figured out the best way to create a complete image of my Hard drive.
- Capacity is 320GB
- 4 partitions - System Partition (C), Recovery Partition, some other 2 small partitions.
I have to modify these partitions and sizes when installing Win7. I want to completely image this HDD so I can get these back exactly the way they are now.
What is the best software I can use and what are the best methods? Please give me your opinions and instructions. Thanks.
