Hi everyones. An easy one for you: If i use an imaging
software to make a bit-for-bit image for easily reinstall
everything in case that my computer screws up,
lets say that i have 6Gigabytes used on the 10
Gigabytes "C:" partition. Since such imaging software
(Bootit NG, Ghost,Drive mage) is making an exact
bit-for-bit replica of my data, does this mean in my case
that the image would consist of a 10Gigabytes image
or only the 6Gigabytes i've used on that partition? TIA
