cloning or imaging which is best for restore in the even of hdd failure
Samson:
Is D a partition on the same drive as C or is it a separate physical drive?
Actually I do have a second Physical HDD on this PC, I use it simply for DATA storage (Music)...If your situation is the same then you can simply copy these files/ folders to your external HDD without using Macrium

separate physical drive having different storage. While installing , the partition was made to c: and d drive. in my pc, for which i have to start from beginning.
The laptop which i intend to take image also, contains, c: d: e: f:
Can i select all the drives and retrieve or restore by using the rescue disk, which i am yet to create?
Samson:
I don't understand, post a screenshot
jraju:
You mean the screen shot of drives.
Samson:
OK so the same as my set up....OS and programs on C and data etc on D
Use macrium to image C and just copy files and folders from D to your external HDD, no need to use Macrium for that.
