My newest-build PC has a single half terabytes hard drive. It runs Windows XP Pro SP2 32-bit in AHCI mode using AMD AHCI driver (ahcix86). I have the following partitions:
C:\, primary partition, 32 GB. Filled to 20 GB. Mostly Windows and applications.
E:\, primary partition, 32 GB. For Windows pagefile, Photoshop scratch disk, and such temporary files.
F:\, primary partition, about 400 GB or so. For data and disc images. Mostly empty. Games would be installed here.
I'd like to make image of C:\, and stored in F:\, since F:\ has a lot of empty space. I don't care about cloning. What's important for me is the ability to restore the C:\ image into C:\ partition, overwriting the partition. The reason I need it is for because I'm going to experiment with drivers --among other things, with the said computer. So what I need is something like Windows System Restore, but capable to restore the partition bit-by-bit (beside, Windows System Restore is quite disappointing).
I remember having an old copy of Norton Ghost 14 sans manual --got it from corporate surplus years ago. But does anyone have better ideas? Probably something open source?
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
