Possible to restore an image to the same drive it's on?
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2009 7:03 pm
I purchased Drive Image to help me replace the hard drive on a laptop, and I used an external hard drive (borrowed) for that purpose.
For whatever reason, the new hard drive is pretty hosed, and I'd like to start fresh by restoring from an image of that drive, that's stored on that drive.
Is this possible?
To clarify, this is an XP Home laptop, with a 160 gig hard drive, and an image file representing maybe 50 gigs of data, stored on that same drive. Will Drive Image allow me to restore FROM an image on that drive TO that very drive, without using an external or otherwise-separate drive?
