Hi All
I'm thinking of making a disc image of one of my puters, and I have a few concerns:
1. Will your new image only work on a new hard drive that is exactly the same as the originating drive?
2. If there is enough space, can you store an image on the same drive that you took it from? (I know, this sounds weird, but thought I'd ask)
3. If you put the image on a totally new drive and new machine, must the new machine exactly match the old machine for hardware, etc? (I'm guessing so)
The idea is that I'm trying to find a pretty easy way to help my non-techie support people to get a new machine running in case my current box takes a dive.
Many thanks
