Simply go to Control Panel then search System Image Backup, follow those wizard procedure.

You need an external hard drive to obtain a backup copy of your OS and other recovery tools.

When all are set up then its prepared for having a system image and done!

What does E drive contains? Since its been likely included to your working OS, does it partition for recovery tools?

Seems they are few report where a partition hard drive doesn't contains any loader operating system includes to be check mark gray out on system image backup.

Try this:

1.) Start>Run..

2.) “CMD”

3.) “diskpart” to load up the utility

4.) “list disk” to list all the disks

5.) “Select disk X” where X is the desired disk

6.) “list partition” to list partitions on the selected disk

7.) “select partition X” where X is the desired partition that is currently marked active

8.) “inactive”

Or another step is go to Control Panel then Disk Management, then remove the partition ( backup your games and files).

What error? Did you try to remove the local disk E by backing up the files and proceed to system image backup?

@Ajay123: Just transfer your files to other hard disk like G and F then remove temporarily the E (by using disk management) so you can proceed to your system image backup. :)

Yes it works well i use it also just run it after you backup your PC and all should be good even by some slim chance something should go wrong but i have used it on the work PC for a long time.
