Questions regarding HD volumes, partitions, images, etc.
I have an old laptop hard drive that was running Windows 7. See the Disc Management screen shot below.
I'd like to wipe the disc and copy an image of my current hard drive on to it, but first, I have a few questions I was hoping you could help answer.
- The System (L:) partition. How do I delete the drive letter? I don't believe it needs to be or should be a volume. The current drive has the same amount of "System" space, but no drive letter.
- Drive (M:) and (G:) have no data in them so I want to remove them. I assume that would be a simple right-click and "Delete Volume".
- I presume that when volume M & G are removed I can simply "Extend" Volume (N:).
If all this goes as planned and let's say that the image file is approximately 300GB, would it be possible to Restore that image to the same hard drive? BTW, the current hard drive is the same size as this drive 500GB.
Thanks
