lightninglord2000 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I currently have a 1.2GHz AMD Duron PC with 128MB DDR RAM. Every quarter (about 3-4months), I format my system drive to clean-install again my Windows XP Pro OS because it just tend to bog down. Then I realized that I could just do a harddrive image.Now what I want to know is what hard disk imaging software can I use to backup my system that supports wrting to CD (or just creating files that can fit to a CD). It's because of the following reasons:* I plan to write the hard disk image into CDs* I have a low disk space and I don't have a secondary hard drive to put the image* The will be into many CDs because the files sum up to more than a gig* I know burning it to a DVD would be better but I don't have a DVD writerAfter I have successfully put the image into several CDs, in case I would ever need to reformat my hard drive and re-install again everything, I could just restore the images.Also, is it possible to make the CD (at least the first one of the set) to be bootable to make the restoring process easier?I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to explain and achieve here. Please do include the name of the software/s that I would need to do this, and if your kind enough, even a guide/tutorial (or a link would do).

gangboy Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 well, it seems that all you need is Norton Ghost. it can do everything you requested above and I really doubt you'll need anything more than the manual that's included.a typical windows system will be mirrored on 2-3 discs while a windows server environment will take up to 8.
