IFW- Image for Windows ( not free ) is another well known product.
Back then ,only Vista Ultimate contained windows system image. Macrium is popular since I first started recommending it many years ago on Vista forum. Drive snapshot ( not free ) is tiny at about 1mb and runs happily in winpe without any other dependencies, etc. O&O disk image (not free) has option not to overwrite other files during restore, Easeus Todo( they do free version ) lets you see image contents in windows explorer ( though, like Acronis, it is quite a large program). Paragon allows excluding files from an image ( even in the free version). I recommend Aomei Backupper ( they do a free version ) as the simplest to use., and it creates boot media without having to download masses of stuuf. There are plenty of good 3rd party imaging programs. SO: if I find these links, how to I repair or remove them? Or is that not desirable? Someone did so on Win 7. SO: thinking it was the turning on then off of system restore for E drive, I ran the Process Monitor Tool and filtered for SystemPropertiesProtection.exe Created a restore point (via C drive) and searched for E drive locations. SIW2 System files on E? Maybe? See above about turning restore on. (I did not create a restore point though!) THAT may have set it up to be seen as as system drive (per win 7 forum thread here).
The latest problem may be my fault: in using tech support, I misunderstood their muddled response and turned system restore ON for E drive. I do not think its windows fault as such: if Seagate made an odd drive, that would explain why I cannot backup to it. But I had a bad run in with one of them (Norton) on a prior computer and stuck with Windows since then. Cereberus : I understand the use of third-party backups.
