| 1157635 | 2010-11-30 22:38:00 | Hi What sort of things do you do before making an image of your primary hard drive? Just checking so I don't miss anything out. Thanks. |

| 1157636 | 2010-11-30 22:46:00 | I just clean out temp folders etc with something like CCleaner. The less you do BEFORE taking the image the better. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1157637 | 2010-11-30 22:48:00 | Empty recycle bin if you don't need what is there. Do a defrag. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1157638 | 2010-12-01 01:12:00 | I dont even bother with that. The time saved is usually negligible I've found (personally), so I just straight image with SelfImage and thats all :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1157639 | 2010-12-01 01:15:00 | DO NOT DEFRAG BEFORE THE IMAGE I assume this is for a HD backup......or similar If there is an unknown fault on the HD(bad sectors), a defrag can mess things up. Its rare , but have seen it. |
