Making an image of an OS
hello,
I've recently got a laptop that doesn't have back up discs of the OS and the software on it. I really need to back this software up. I can only think of making an image of the entire OS and software on it. Then backing up if i need to reload it.
However, i have an external hard drive through USB i'd like to store the image but i was curious as to whether it would need to format the external hard drive first(got important data on my external hd) plus is there any good software that would be able to do this? preferably one i wouldnt need to install as i wouldnt want to include it on the backup image
