After the last SSD boot drive failed, I decided to make an image of the disk after everything was reinstalled to make a possible replacement simple. The disk only holds the page file and OS, so I was expecting a 25gb file. I used the windows tool to do a back up and it said I need 215GBs because one of the drives is listed as "system" this mechanical drive is one with the non OS program files on.
It's listed as a system drive on this screen. But on disk management;
(ignore the recovery partition one of the junk drive comes from a laptop which had a Vista recovery partition)
The SSD is the only system drive. The OS has always been on the SSD, or the Junk drive. There are program files also on the two lots of storage drives above but they arn't needed for the image.
Is there a simple way of creating a disk image that I can use if the drive fails for just the C?
