question about backup size?

Thread needs solution

So, I just formatted my 120gb hard drive and loaded XP and then all of the software I needed. Only 25gb's used of the 120gb hard drive.

I attempted to make an image of that and it ended up being 100gb in size. Shouldn't be like about 15-16gb? (60% of the actually data right?) Any ideas? I originally tried to back it up another small drive I had in the system, but it couldn't handle that file size and I ended up doing it over the network to my other computer.

Any suggestions? And no, I did not use the sector by sector option.

Truemage has a bad habit of including other partitions. Simulate a recovery and see what is listed under the What to recover screen.

I haven't had a chance to test the recovery, but I only have 1 partition on that drive(120gb, 25gb used).
