adrian2055 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) What is a good program to make an image of my hard drive that works with vista? I have vista setup the way that I want it and I want to burn an image onto some dvd's so that I re-format my drive, make 2 partitions and install xp and vista on the same hard drive. Plus it's good to have a backup in case of a crash. I tried to use norton ghost 12 but I didn't know what the hell I was doing and I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone help me out?*FYI I removed Windows Backup with vlite* Edited August 29, 2007 by adrian2055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 you dont need to reinstall vista if you decided to install xp afterwards. you just need to repair vista's boot files. besides that, vista is over 10GB so there is no way that will fit on a DVD.

IcemanND Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well you can use Ghost and create a disk image with it and split it into 4gb chunks to fit on DVDs, or you can use Windows Imaging (WIM file) and split those. Or there are any number of other disk imaging tools see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=100299for WIMs and Imagex there are guides in the Windows PE forum, like this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=101383for ghost try this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=32468 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnes Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 If you use BartPE (free) along with your Ghost12 files, you can have the best and most flexible solution around for disk-imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
