win7 64 pro , disc image not showing?
Hi.
So today I decided to make a image of my OS using the Windows software. My laptop has a 250gb HD and my external HD is 80gb.
As I have just reinstalled my OS I figure it would be a good time to back up a image.
Mt laptop has around 40gb used so the 80gb hd should have plenty of room.
So first I created a recovery disc and then I backed up system to the external hd, all went well I thought?
So I decided to give it a test, put in the recovery disc >restarted the laptop while tapping the F12 key>then booted from the cd and chose to restore.
Well it could not find my external HD??
After that , I restarted ad checked my external HD and yes the backup files were in there?
Any ideas what I did wrong? Was I supposed to give the backed up files a certain name??
FWIW I have always used Acronis True Image on my other PCs, does the Wimdows software work as well?
