Dear all,

I have a dual boot system (Win2000/WinME)
and would like to make a disk image. I am
planning to use PowerQuest Drive Image 2002 for this task.

I think for single boot system the disk imaging should be straight forward but what about dual boot? Should I image both drives?

The Windows2000 drive is about 6 GB, how do I copy all the data into a CD?

Sorry if I sound stupid :)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
EK

Whichever is the boot partion will have the mbr on it, and that is what will control the dual booting process, and that is the image that will have to be restored first to make the new drive/system work.

You will have to make seperate disk images of each partion. You cannot fit all 6gig on one cd, you will have to select the option to split the image into, x number of bytes, usually 670,000, (one cd's worth), select high compression and you can get the 6 gig on 3 to 4 CD's.
