DriveImage XML reinstalling OS Image to HDD
i've created a copy of my C: saved to an external Hard Drive using DriveImage XML, i deleted the C: Drive and convert it to Linux
now i'm wanting to migrate back to Windows, going through the DriveImage XML how to doesn't seem to have any instructions on my case in particular
what i want to do is just put my backup onto a Partition (which should be C:\)
can anyone help me? I have created a UBCD4Win CD but i'm unfamiliar with using it to put my C: Image into the PC Hard Drive

Format the partition where you want to image back C:\
Install Windows from an XP CD, just the first install without updates, just enough to make it run
Install your imaging software
re-image back from the external drive
I'm sure there's a faster solution, but the one I outlined is only a waste of time for what it takes to reinstall basic XP functions.
I routinely back up four different PCs - full system backups. I never take the time to create rescue disks and the like. If a re-image is required, I just go through the steps I outlined above. I just had to do this a couple weeks ago when a primary hard drive bit the dust.
how can i change this so i can create a new C: on my HDD?
