Dunno where this thread goes.
Now since I am on the age of ruining my DATA and OS every now & then, I thought of taking a new approach.
Seen this kinda partitions but did not know how to do it and how it would do in my situation.
I have used partition magic and Norton ghost and read a tutorial about doing a partition but it really doesn't cut it.
May be it isn't as easy I thought.
I tried just now, created a partition of 10G on my boot drive. PC went to restart couple of times, I though I blew it again but it came back with a new partition located at the end of C drive. Tut says use Ghost but I got lost at the point where to put the image, on the partition or on a DVD .
So now here I am again asking if there is any easy way of doing this of dummies like me.
or does any of you have a good tut on actually how to do this step by step.
I like to create a hidden partition on my primary drive and back up my OS once I set it up the way I want. with all the nifty update and the anti virus and spy ware BS's.
This way if I again find some reason to crash my OS, which I presume won't be too long, I can restore fresh to the state which was before.
I will have backups of my data separate. It takes for ever to set up my OS the way I want. Now I know there is a way.
If any of you know a way please show me.
