Sorry. Did not make myself clear. 

As it happens I store the images on an external drive, but I could equally
well use the D partition for the image storage. However that is not ideal as
with an actual drive death (head crash or whatever) the D partition would be
inaccessible also. So an external drive is what I use. I assess that using a
bootable CD which has BartPE and DriveImage XLM on it.

The D partition is simply used for data and it has its own backup process
which does not involve any image software. I use BackUp4All for my general
purpose, scheduled backups.

Hi Lambert,

If you have a recent image of the C partition on the D partition, how do you
use that to restore you PC to working condition?

This sounds like a good use of a D partition, but I don't know how to
restore from an image.

Thanks!
