Hey Guys,
I've got a Inspiron 530, thats now full of crap mixed with stuff i do use/need. I was hoping/wondering if there's a way to partition the current c:\ (into c:\ & d:\) and use the dell resotre disk to create a fresh install on the newly created partition (d:\) so i can slowly install onto the new partition the programs / files i need before formatting the old install to use as space. Is that possible?
I know it would be easier to start from scratch but the PC is a works PC and i want to make sure everything is copied over that i need/use before i wipe the exisiting partition...
Cheers
Darren

easeus todo backup is a free imaging program which you can use to create an image file & retreive data at any time once it's mounted,the upside you can restore the pc back to before you tinkered with it & since it's an image file & not a sector by sector clone space is saved,other option is to select specific file & folders only,so docs & settings would be pretty much all you'd need
