    Backup HDD Image


    You should create a backup system image before you start (in case of disaster).

    As long as you don`t delete anything, you won`t loose any data.

    Just follow the tutorial.

    Whilst that is true, I use the Gun Lobby argument:
    "It's better to have a backup and not need it, than to need a backup and not have it."
