Imaging: create a Windows system image
Now you have installed Windows on your C: partition (and placed your personal data on the D: partition), it is time to create an image of your Windows system. A system image creates an exact backup of all the bits on your C: partition. This means you can always restore your system to the exact original situation! Where the Windows System Restore (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System tools, System Recovery) keeps giving troubles, a system image will always work! Creating a system image is the best advise I can give to prevent getting into troubles. Here are some reasons:
- If you think you are having a virus or spyware on your computer:
restore your system image and you are up and running virus free in some 15 minutes. - Your Windows system isn't as fast as you are used to:
restore your system image and you are up and running as fast as a fresh optimized Windows setup in some 15 minutes. - Tired of regularly running adware/spyware software, scanning hard disk for viruses, deleting temporary files, defragmenting:
restore your system image and you are up and running as clean as a fresh Windows setup in some 15 minutes. - Do you regularly make irreversible errors (who doesn't....):
restore your system image and you are up and running trouble free in some 15 minutes. - Do you want to try software without messing up your system:
restore your system image and the installed software is gone in some 15 minutes.
