Can I use TI 2010 booted from CD to image Windows 8?

Thread needs solution

Hello. I'm reluctant to buy/install TI 2013 on my Windows 8 system until the problems have been resolved.

Can I, in the meantime, boot from my TI 2010 CD and take a backup image of my Windows 8 C drive?

Can I then restore an image if necessary?

The 2010 Rescue Media can be used to do this, BUT, only if the 2010 Recue Media recovery environment (Linux based) can "see" you hardware correctly. Boot up to the Rescue Media and check to see if you can "see" both the source drive and the backup image file destination (target). Perform the full disk image backup from the Rescue Media, and then do a restore of a couple of files from the disk image backup to be sure everything works okay before attempting a full disk recovery/restore.
