Windows 10: Imaging to an ISO?

Editing Video and such would explain , at least partially why your C:\ Drive is large vs Others here if you have those files on C:\ too along with the Editing software. ( For me it's my CAD Package) It may make for larger Backups but , that's not really a concern with a 4TB Data Drive.

I do see 14.1 GB in your recycle bin though , something you could perhaps empty before doing an Image.

Thanks for the reminder about the Recycle Bin.

I only have the regularly used files on C. For video they are essentially 'project files', relatively small but numerous, with links to the actual content (photos, video clips, music files, etc - the heavy stuff) whuch are on D.

If you haven't done so you can also move the location of your "Libraries" to the Data Drive , (allowing windows to "move" the existing files), this will place the Pics , Music, Docs etc on D: (Data Drive) too .

 

Hi there

a free program called TREESIZE FREE is a good program to analyse what's on your drives.

as for SSD's - fine for OS + programs -- but there's no point in storing a load of data files on these. For video editing most of the work is CPU intensive rather than data access related so for improvement it's a good idea to have temporary / work areas / scratch files to use the SSD - photoshop for example when you have a large number of layers for an A2 size professional print. These files are temporary and aren't saved at the end of the session.

Imgburn can create ISO and its Freeware *Smile

Thanks Jimbo. Many of the data files I keep on the SSD, together with all system and program files, are 'project' files used by my video editor. They consist mainly of links to files used in that video. So when previewing the video (short sections, very frequently) and, of course, for rendering a DVD or exporting a video, fast access is important.

So I think this is a somewhat equivalent situation to the one you described with PhotoShop.

Thanks Stephanie. I use the excellent ImgBurn for burning DVDs, but hadn't considered it for making system images. Have you done so, and successfully restored one? Anyone?

Would you just select C: as the 'folder' from which to make the image?

Are you sure about the Tree Size Website Jimbo ( I think Terrypin is already using it btw) , IE wont let me go there due to a Cert. Error and Brave just shows a Blank page.

Thanks,

KB.

 

Jimbo,

It works OK for me (Firefox). And yes, I do use it.
