Help with ghost OS

mrthanhnguyen · Jan 4, 2012

I just installed fresh window on my new rig. I want to ghost them, but I don't know my recovery drive which is 12gb is enough for a ghost file. The OS and other stuffs that I installed occupy about 36gb. How can I partition in window in case of need to increase size of recovery drive. Thanks.

I'd usually use Norton Partition magic to change the size of the OS to the size of the HDD to ghost to prior to ghosting the image.

But I am most certain there are other ways as well.
I think I have used diskpart to do the same thing although it is vague as to what I did as it was a long time ago.

For ghosting, if you have two drives of the same brand use either
Acronis True Image WD edition or Seagate Disc Wizard.
