My gf has a laptop with a fairly small HD, 60GB. Of this 10GB is drive c: with windows and programs on it. 50GB is drive D with everything else, documents, music etc.
However, on the 50GB HD are 13GB of restore installers for windows office and all the other software that came with her laptop. The files are not in a seperate partition but are just in hidden folders.
She's running out of space, approx 500mb left so that 13GB could be really handy, but obviously we don't want to lose the ability to restore.
I originally thought of trying to create a restore CD from the installation files, but that would be a real pain. A mate suggested using something like norton ghost to ghost the c drive and back that up on dvd, and just restore that if things go pete tong.
I like the ghost idea but does anyone else have any other ideas...?
