Macrium Restore

My current computer has 6 partition: Win RE tools, System, drive C: for OS & programs, E: Docs , Drive F for video and music, Unallocated Space.Drive D ( recovery)


If I only image Win RE Tools, C:, and D: what will happen when I restore?

Will the restoration image only restore to the respective locations and imaged drives or will it completely messup and overwrite E: and F: as well ?

Thanks

 

sportflyer,

Can you run Diskpart from an Admin Command Prompt.
type "list vol" without the "" and press Enter.

Can you post a screenshot of the result?

 

Here's the list vol:

 

UEFI, Win8?

7 partitions. To backup the partition structure I suggest an Entire Drive backup image. In the future you just need to image the C: drive. You can delete the 10 GB D: drive if you like, after you have the entire drive backed up.

 

OK. I will have to get a larger ext BU drive for whole disk image. Run out of space in my current Seagate ext. HDD

I will keep the 10G partition for now as I have so much so much space. Is 10G enough space to install Linux ?

Tks

 

I forgot to mention that the bios is UEFI .

 

An Ubuntu install uses about 4 GB.
