SlugFiller Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I would strongly recommend that you just work on another drive, cloning the working partition, rather than the empty one. It would be much safer all-around. In fact, if you have another drive, you can probably try some of the programs mentioned above to at least copy/restore files you need short-term to it (e.g. your work so far on the anniversary).If I were you, I wouldn't risk anything that may permanently remove all of my data. I don't know how important that data is for you, but there's always a chance you'll suddenly remember some important document there that did not have a recent back-up.Just think about it from this angle, a new harddrive will quite commonly cost alot less than the worth of lost data, or the cost of post-abuse restoration.

dencorso Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I've never cloned a drive so it's new territory for me - obviously I'm meant to learn Info on disk imaging programs (link)... The part of most interest to you now is "Partition Imagers"... HTH Edited June 22, 2008 by dencorso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
