Question about Drive Image 2002
I would like to know if i make images of my HD to my backup HD, then with my main HD erase all partitions and make new different size ones, will i still be able to reinstall my images back when I am done? I want to put Slackware on this pc but I dont wanna dual boot(not enough space). Thanks.

Yeah I got the full version of DI 2002. I want to install Slackware on this pc but in order to do that, I wanna delete some partitions and make new ones different sizes(swap,/,/home,etc). Just wanted to make sure my data was safe. Thanks again.

You can install the images to a partition of a different size provided the new partition is of equal or greater size than the original. The image will not install to a smaller partition.

Thanks guys. Just wanted to be sure. Never got in the habit of backing up my HD till i wanted to do this. I guess this is a good time as any to backup on a weekly basis since i got a couple of spare HD's laying around. Thanks again.
