They also have a free version on their website, but I like to have the full version whenever possible. You can back-up to an additional/external HD or split it into a bunch of DVDs. It also can compress the back-up, but it sounds like you will still need additional storage. Just remember to check the MBR box when making your back-up. Also, with this program you can create your bootable CD. It uses WinPE and is pretty easy to work with. I hope this helps. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6891#post-70923 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:23:05 +0000 Frique 70923@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the heads up.

I have used 168 Gb of that space.<br /> now I want to back up the c drive , mainly the system files or windows, and the apps I have installed.<br /> so what is the best free software to make a image file to external HD.?<br /> or what is the best way to back up my main drive?<br /> I would need to compress it? or would I need 168 gb of hd space on ext drive to bck this up?<br /> I want to back it up and then add another partition to it, so that windows will be on 1st partition, tehn rest for storage, and still keep the d drive for restore as is 8 gb or maybe change that to 10 gb.<br /> also what would be a good amount for the windows partition 1?<br /> I have recently got the partition software, but need to back up before I attempt to add a partition.<br /> also I have no back up now except for the restore on D drive, so I would like to have a backup, and am also curious how would you use a backup if say windows did crash where it wouldnt come on or boot at all? I dont have a windows disk ,I use XP professional ed and I have tried to make rescue disks [thru windows] , but always get a error at end of process.<br /> so I need some type of rescue disk for my system too.<br /> never had any problems for 5 years, but would like to be ready if something did happen to system.<br /> If I could do the back up, and then have smaller c drive with just windows on it I could then make a smaller image of just that for bkup which is sort of the goal.<br /> so any advice is welcome. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3759#post-40652 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:27:45 +0000 copmom 40652@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Rabbit.. to find things, I made folders on my the desktop and put shortcuts in them to the various types of programs.
