WÄ°NDOWS 7 HOME PREMÄ°UM X64 SP1
LENOVO Ä°deaPad Z570 Laptop



Hello,

I'm very new to W.7(only a few days)and have a very mundane problem.

My Hard Drive is 750.00 GB,

Local DRÄ°VE C:654.GB,612 GB of which is free.

Lenovo (D:)28.9 GB,14.31 of which is free.

I have tried to take an image of my system,but there simply NOT

enough space on the D:Drive.

Have tried changing settings,nothing,

I have deleted ALL but one restore points,made no difference to anything.

In my XP system,i took images everyday and each one overwrote the old one.

How do i manage to do that with my W.7 SYSTEM?

Can't believe i'm asking this,but

Detailed info would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I suspect the D: drive is the Recovery Partition, and you may be blocked from changing that. Not that you would want to... since it's the Recovery Partition.

A system image shouldn't be stored on the same physical drive as you are using. You should get an external enclosure and do backups, clones, and\or system images to that.

Hope this helps.

what i do with my W.XP System.

Thanks anyway.

R-click the Computer icon on the desktop. Select Manage. Select Disk Management. You should be able to make changes there.

Hi, did you try DVD (DL) or Blue-Ray to burn the image? And instructions + software for it should already be installed on your notebook or at least be included.
