| 1303118 | 2012-09-25 10:30:00 | Thanks, I'm aware of that. Anyway, it's not my main PC, just another 'secondary machine' mainly for testing purposes - don't have a spare HDD for backup, after all, no important data. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1303119 | 2012-09-25 22:46:00 | BTW, where did you store your Win7 image? I put the image on the second partition (same HDD). I put the image on the 2nd internal physical drive ... Guess that was why ..... |

| 1303120 | 2012-09-26 05:38:00 | Just experimented to create a Win7 image on a USB external drive and restored successfully without wiping out the second partition - D:\ | bk T (215) | ||
| 1303121 | 2012-09-26 06:07:00 | Perhaps I backed up the Partition 1 and blank Partition 2 ... dunno ... now I play it safe with 2 physical drives (internally) and one external in my drawer ... | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1303122 | 2012-09-26 20:14:00 | I have the same senario but shrunk my second hardrive E from 1TB down to 116Gb and then carried out a win7 backup from C drive to the smaller partition on E, now i want to put a 120 SSD in and run my systems OS in that, so would that work restoring it to the SSD? | PeterQ (16315) | ||
| 1303123 | 2012-09-26 21:46:00 | It's the C:\ size that matters - you may have to shrink the C:\ size to <120GB. haven't tried it myself. I'm going to borrow the Active@ CD to do the transfer. | bk T (215) | ||
