When I choose the "Create System Image" option in Windows Backup & Restore, it says that it will take system image of my C:\ and V:\ partitions. My Windows 7 is installed on V: and I use C:\ for taking backups. Now, my question is, is it possible to ignore taking backup of C:\ partition? I only want to get a copy of system image of V: By the way, I used to have Vista on my C:\ partition sometime ago and I formatted it recently to use the partition for taking backups.

No you cannot, you will have to use a 3rd party image software to do this. Acronis or Paragon software can do it. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/index.html (not free) free http://download.cnet.com/Paragon-Backup-amp-Recovery-Free-Advanced-Edition/3000-2242_4-10972187.html http://download.cnet.com/EASEUS-Todo-Backup-Home/3000-2242_4-10964460.html http://download.cnet.com/Macrium-Reflect-Free/3000-2242_4-10845728.html . | |||||

I'm sure that Your HDD is marked as active. Hard drive image include every HDD marked as ACTIVE DISK.If You had operating system before HDD is marked as ACTIVE DISK and even after formatting it stays ACTIVE DISK. 1.) So take some Disk Director and You'll see that is marked as ACTIVE DISK. Click on it and remark those HDD as DYnamic disk. 2.) check BIOS because can be wrong BOOT sequence and ensure that first HDD BOOT is marked HDD where is OS instaled. And Your problem is gone And for those '' I do not see an option to exclude my data drives.'' ACTIVE DISK can't be excluded so check ACTIVE DISK staus and You'll se the same. Also check BIOS HDD boot sequence. I know that will help :-) Bye | |||
