My computer has 2 hdd with win7_64 and win7_32. I would like to make an partition image for each OS, but I would like to save to another hdd. This new hdd will be used only when a need to recover. Is this possible?

Thanks

You can't clone partitions with TI (only entire drives). You would need to create backup images, which can then be restored when needed. For example, you could create an image of the win7_64 partition and save it to a USB drive. Then create an image of the win7_32 partition and save it to the same USB drive. The saved images can be restored back to the original drives or to replacement drives.

Thanks MudCrab...I got it. Is there any difference in creating a backup image in the boot cd and windows ..... In the windows I can see the backup as a normal file. The backup file created by the boot cd ​​ I can not open it under Windows.

If I have to change the hdd I just need to boot with boot cd and recover the backup image and I have a bootable windows again?

What happens when you try to open the backup created from the TI CD? Is TI reporting it corrupt or is it just a permissions error? You should be able to access it.

Correct. You would replace the old drive with the new one, boot to the TI CD, and restore the image to the new drive. Of course, you can also restore back to the original drive if needed. If you have a spare drive available it can be helpful to actually run through the entire procedure so you're familar with it. Also, if you run into any problems, they can hopefully be worked out before a restore emergency occurs.

You may find it helpful to check out some of the Useful Links to the left (Getting Started, Grover's Guides, etc.). There's a lot of good information there.
