    system drive


    hi all my problem is

    when i go to create a system image for some reason when i go to select the partitions and drives to back up i have the normal system drive automatically selected which is normal
    but now for some reason it is treating my 1 terabyte hard drive as a system disk as well which it is not. which means i cannot remove the tick
    when i go to the disk management and delete the volume and then recreate the volume again its not part of the system disks and i can make my backup if i do it within about 5 minutes of recreating the volume other wise it is treated as a system disk again
    as far as i know i have done nothing different this time to any other time i have reinstalled seven

    i am dual booting 2 sevens as i was going to delete the old install which i haven't yet and when i boot into that one the 1 terabyte drive is not part of the system disks

    cheers brad
    hope some one has an idea or i will be reinstalling again lol

    Hello.

    Your booting files are on there. We can move them away so it will allow only one drive to be backed up and done.

    Post a screenshot of disk management and we'll outline the steps necessary.
