[sclug] Ghost HDD

[Matt Cox]

Hi guys,

I have a Pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium laptop for which I am planning to free up some of the disk to make a partition for a Mint install.

Since I don't have the install media I'd like to ghost the resized win 7 partition in case of mishaps. It would also have the advantage of keeping all my installed software in one disk image.

Has anyone got any experience doing this and are there any recommended ghost utilities?

Many thanks,

Matt.
