Guest RBB Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I have just done as I was instructed ... converted my HD from Fat 32 to NTFS. Now I ask ... How can I make a copy of my system now .... with all the up-date included so If I ever have to Format and re-load, I will have at least have the updates as of today. It takes so long re-loading and getting all of the up-dates! I would like to make a bootable CD or DVD for emergency purposed. How do I accomplish that? Thanks for you knowledge and patience.

Buy an external (or second internal) hard drive on which to store the images. My preference is for Acronis - http://www.acronis.com.
