Creating a system disk image

Use the procedure to create a system disk image (the C: partition) and store the image
file on the D: partition. You can use this disk image to restore the complete software
on the system disk, including all the current system settings. This simplifies the
process of troubleshooting and correcting software faults.

To create a system disk image and store the image on the D: partition, do the
following:

last volume. Then restart the machine.
