Do I need to move, or copy OEM zone?
I would like to Install my (paid for) TI 2010, But am afraid it might overwrite my original Win 7 Image on OEM zone?..is there an option to save or move that image during upgrade install?..(I did make a copy of OEM zone to an external drive using the TI "Restore" option in 2009 OEM version), But it may be buggy?..Thank you!
BTW I would like to keep this separate from other back-ups to use for disaster recovery or "first original state" to easily re-install windows OS.

Thanks SS!..well I bit the bullet and installed TI Home 2010 and 1/2 way thru the install it gave me the choice to keep or delete the original OEM zone Image from 5-9-2011,..It simply changed to ASZ...I need that image to easily go back to Original "NEW" State...Now I would like to move the ASZ to a separate Extternal Drive, But keep it separate and bootable with Acronis Startup Recovery Manager, but also make a separate up-to date back-up also on External drive. I have seen in other posts it can be done?,or to not even use ASZ on C drive?..but I need to keep that original image somehow.

Jim,
Whenever I get or build a new machine, I make a full disk image back up before booting the OS for the first time. In the case of windows 8, I create a recovery disk that includes the recovery partition. On system builds, I often create a full disk image after windows is installed, then another after activation, and another after installing/activating programs (office, etc). This way my back ups are not tied to the drive I am trying to protect.

Thank SS AND Happy Holidays!,..I may have failed to mention that I purchased this win 7 PC about 2010 from a music vendor (Sweetwater sound) based back east, in Indiana, and they optimized the settings (AND BIOS?) for Audio recording, and they used Acronis OEM for re-setting in case things get messed up later..Now those settings may be out-dated by now?..I know more than I did back then about optimizing..But still don't want to loose that first image..(I already spent some $$ shipping it back to them for re-imaging/optimizing in 2010 after hitting the wrong option while Upgrading TI OEM to Paid Version)..BUT I may be asking the impossible regarding moving ASZ to another drive?..(I did sucessfully CLONE C drive to Ext. Drive) and now I have 2 un-lettered ASZ zones with TI 2010,But that's a little confusing,.Plus it filled up my 320 Gig Ext Drive, which I would rather use for Incremental B-Ups .and there is no option I could see to assign a drive letter to each ASZ..Maybe I should delete the Clone and be happy with ASZ on C drive?..Sorry for all the text!!

Jim,
You can try assigning a drive letter to the SZ and restarting windows. This may allow you access to the data on the SZ, I don't recall if this was previously successful. Again, its not supported.
