  1. Hello, thank you for the video.
    I have a question though...dumb as it may be
    Will this backup everything...I mean all the programs that I have installed, photos, videos, music, settings, etc...?
    Thank you once again! :)
  2. thank you very much
  3. when i backup and then restore does it format my whole PC or just OS.
    will make "windows.old" folder as of OS installation as my data on downloads will be there .
  4. One frickin' problem is that System Image Recovery keeps breaking off Camera Sensors drivers on my ASUS tablet PC every time until I have to Refresh or Reset my shit!!! >_<

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

  11. Well done.
  12. some systems do come with Image Backup on hard drive Like mine did. How ever I had to make new one after windows updates installed its saves me lot of time re downloading all updates again when ever I need restore windows again
  13. Hi Brian,
    I am trying to get a new hard drive for my laptop (a SSD )
    Can I use this image restore to clone my old hard drive to the new hard drive.
    And if so, dopes the new hard drive has to be the same size?
    My current hard drive is 500GB with only 46GB used. the 46GB are all programs, I do not store data (permanently) on my hard drive, I have another external usb hard drive for storage. So my question is; can I do this "file history" restore and then do a restore on a new hard drive (SSD) that is only 120GB? This method is almost identical to what I use to back up my system. I use Windows Powershell. the way to restore is the same you use. I tried my disk image that I have (done with powershell) and it did not go thru. may be because of the size difference. you think it would go thru doing the image with "file history"? I had cloned Hard Drives of identical size with Powershell with no problems. But I do not want or need 500GB SSD hard drive, I want to fit my 46GB onto a 120GB. And I do not want to use those cloning software programs, I do not trust them, but at the end I might have to if I have no other option. But I will not a 500GB hard drive. Please let me if your method would do me any good.
  14. Make video about freezing hard drive. So when you reboot computer its refreshes to original state.
  15. How do you make a network drive?
  16. I followed your directions and selected an external HD with 1.34TB.
    The bk started then stoppped and window popped up with message
    Not enough space.
    How can a 1.34 tb HD have enough space?
    How do I get past this problem?
  17. Hello I was just wondering if you can do a video about rombertik because it sounds interesting and I want to see it in action And a way to remove it if there is a solution yet .

    Thanks
  18. Is windows 8 good for games? I'm mostly on ps4, 3ghz, 8gb ram but only a 450 gts
  19. Thanks for the Info....
  20. Clonezilla is far better than this Windows imaging tool
