| 1295116 | 2012-08-16 22:59:00 | I have just installed an additional internal HDD and did a system backup using windows 7, is it ok to partition the hardrive or should i format and then partition, then backup? | PeterQ (16315) | ||

For example if you have a 1TB main drive, then try to put a recovery back on a 500GB drive it wont do it as the back up will complain theres not enough room, regardless of the amount of data on the drive. If its the other way around, the drive is larger - no problems. |
