Subject: Lazy question: how to make partition image?
I don't know if what I want to do is possible, but here it is. I want
to remove my two Windows partitions entirely, as I never visit Windows
anymore. OTOH, on the off chance that I want to restore Windows without
reconfiguring, downloading all system updates etc., I would like to
make a copy of the partition images, such that I could simply copy them
back to the partitions again. Now, each partition is 1G, and neither
contains more than a CD's worth of data, though of course i don't know
how it is distributed. Can I make an image and burn it to CD? Can I
make a compressed image and burn it to CD? Is there an alternative
way of going about it that doesn't involve making an image? I'm
borrowing a friend's burner, so this explains in part my lack of
knowledge; I don't do a lot of this stuff.
TIA.
Best,
Corvin
