I want to create a image copy of my hard drive, wipe the hard drive, and then reinstall the back up. This should put my PC back to the way it was. Right?
The reason I am doing this it to get hands on doing back ups. I'm using a PC that it does not matter if I blow it up. Basically, I want to back up, work on PCs, and have this in case I crash the sucker.
I am backing one up to an external hard drive that has other stuff on it. I'm thinking this will not work. The reason I say this is when I boot from the external drive, which has other back ups and stuff, it won't know what to load. Right? I'm thinking that I need to use an external with nothing on it but the back up.
Do I need software outside of Windows to do this?
Need your input. First time.
