[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 323818, member: 2291"] lol, very confused discussion I must say :D Well, I can add my suggestions : [LIST] [*]Do resizing, merging, shrinking of partitions before you install OS on them, this is especially important if you are going to resize system partitions. It's always risky to operate system partition(s) from inside a Windows. [*]Check if your HDD has any alignment errors, any MBR malformations and surface errors before creating a backup [*]Do a backup only after you have installed Windows, updated it, and installed all the necessary programs you need, clean the Windows from junk files and defragment it. [*]I always recommend members to create system backups (imaging) from outside of Windows. It's safer and faster. [*]I always recommend members to do just that from Hirens Boot CD. [*]And, I must suggest you to abandon Windows XP. If you are hardware limited, you can try some lightweight Linux, like Lubuntu [/LIST] Here's a tutorial I made some time ago, it's not the best but I think it can help you [GALLERY=media, 95]How to do BackUp & Restore system partition in Hiren's Boot CD - YouTube by BoraMurdar posted Jun 12, 2014 at 10:39 PM[/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
