Ok if you haven't seen part one well go and watch that one before you see this one,

I this video I will go over how to create a rescue disk.

Note this only works on windows computers.

Ok, this video will show and will walk you through the processes of creating a complete image backup of your entire operating system programs and harddrive data.

This will allow you to reinstall your whole operating system the it is now, all the programs and data can be restored back to normal with a few clicks of the mouse.

No this is not a systems restore, so don't get that mixed up, a system restore is entirely a different than making an image of your operating system and hardrive data.

A system restore point is a program which Microsoft gives with their operating system that allows you to return your system back to earliest time before a certain program or data made a major change to your computer.

That's very convenient, However what if your computer is so corrupted till the point you can't even operate your computer the way you want to reset your computers restore point, or if you reinstall your operating system.

That's when Macrium Reflect Free comes in, it's a free program that can allow you to reset your computer back to the way it was via two ways, You can make a rescue disk that will allow you to operate the program if there is a catastrophic failure of your window operating system.

Or you can just use the program on your system if you're able to operate your Operating system with no issues.You can us this program even if you did a clean instal of your operating system and them reinstall the back up you have and all of your programs and updates you had when you did the back up.




Cnet's review right here

Backing up your computer shouldn't be a tedious task. Macrium Reflect Free Edition makes file backup incredibly easy thanks to its intuitive user interface and helpful wizards.
Installing the program did confuse us a bit, because although it's a free program, it refers to purchasing the program, and you're given a confirmation number. On top of that, the program recommends that you view the online tutorials before getting started, but you might have some trouble deciphering them unless you speak Italian. Luckily, the built-in Help menu is more than adequate and written in English. The user interface is simple but professional in appearance. Intuitive commands line the top of the window, and tabs reveal options for disk images, partitions, XML definitions, and scheduled backups. A helpful wizard guides you through the process of setting up your backup. We were able to quickly select our backup location (local hard disk, network, CD/DVD). Before proceeding, it provides you with a summary of your backup so that you can see the backup type, destination, compression type, and password protection. Here is also where you can make advanced configurations to the compression levels and file sizes.
The program did slow our computer while it worked its magic, and we were unable to browse or work with other resource-intensive programs at the same time. However, we were able to watch the backup process, and the program successfully backed up our C Drive without a hitch. If you're looking for a simple but reliable backup program, we highly recommend Macrium Reflect Free Edition to all users

  • Hey DavinDaGeek,

    can you explain more about the bootable rescue CD

    what does it do? cause i dont know what its about

  • @xxHighChiefxx It's a cd that you can boot from instead of booting from your Hard Drive.

  • mate i was wondering do you know how to install the OS on the hard drive like laptops without a CD drive i do have a CD drive but is to much hassle to boot from CD drive every time it would be cool to have it on my hard drive write back

  • @8ballmad15 Yes, just copy all of the files from your Installation cd, then put them in the usb stick. Now you have to make sure your computer is capable of booting from usb. you'll have to look at that in your boot window when you first start your computer up.

  • hey how you change the toolbar into the upper??

  • @bat5boyz25 rightclick on your taskbar, and uncheck lock taskbar, then grab the taskbar and drag it up to the top.

see all

  • Thanks helped a lot. :-)

  • Hello Davin,

    I have one question.

    When if I make a clean install of my windows 7 pro and I install all my drivers like videodriver mobo drivers etc. Can i make a booteable DVD DL and put it all back before startup. Because my computer crash last week and I must install all drivers and programs. I mean like a recovery Disc.

    THX

  • thank you so much man I love you no homo you explained it in a very nice way so I finally understood what I was doing.

  • can u boot the computer up with an external hard drive where i first put the image

  • Windows 7 already has this feature:

    1.) Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore

    2.) Left Panel "Create a system image"

    3.) Burn or Save to another hard drive

    It saves all your games, programs, settings, files EVERYTHING an exact copy :)

    To use it in a critical time make a repair disk as well.

  • Do you have to make a rescue disk if you make an image on an external hard drive? I have to wipe my HDD because its crapping out on me, so will the files on the HDD work without the disc?

  • usefull video , will this also work with xp?

  • can i just do specific files or folders with this and restore a new computer or hard drive with a different operating system on it, and it would transfer the files i imaged to the new computer or hard drive?

  • but if you need multiple dvd disks if you chhose to create the image on a disk. how do you use it to boot your operating system again. do you insert the disk one by one?
