    System Image in a partition


    Hi,


    Is it possible to create a system image into a partition that is in the same physical hard drive?

    So if I have Drive C with the OS, and Drive D with nothing in it, can I create a system image and put it into Drive D?

    :)

    Exclude partition from system image.

    I have two drives in my system.

    Disk manager details - The first drive has 3 partitions:

    • System Reserved (System, Active, Primary)
    • Windows 7 (Page File, Primary)
    • Data Partition 1 (Primary)
    The second drive has 2 partitions

    • Windows 10 (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary)
    • Data Partition 2 (Primary)
    The first data partition has user profiles and shares used for both operating systems. The second data partition is just extra space to hold data temporarily.

    This being said, I would like to create a system image with everything but the second data partition. However, it shows up as a system partition in the system image creation module. If fact, all the partitions except Windows 7 show as system and are default
    selected and cannot be deselected.

    Why does the second data partition show as system? Can I remove the system attribute? I have made sure nothing on this volume is indexed and that it does not contain any page, hibernation, or other system files. One of the folders is compressed, but that
    is the only thing special on the volume.

    System Image in a partition

    Is there a way to shrink the partition size of a system image?

    I made a noob mistake and forgot to shrink the partition size of a system image that I intended to clone to another PC. I made the image this morning and just went to clone it now and realized it won't fit on the SSD I have in this computer. I don't have access to the original PC right now to shrink the partition and recreate the system image. Is there anything I can do or am I screwed?
