Iso to Backup and Restore Your Hard Drive

Do you ever guess the times you have performed operating systems installations? Well, personally, I cannot remember the actual times I have installed Windows for both work and personal. Let me give some rough figures.

Windows 3.11 - 5 times

Hard Drive

Windows 95 - 5 times

Windows 98 - 50 times

Windows Me - 5 times

Windows 2000 - 5 times

Linux Red Hat - 3 times

Windows Xp Pro - 100 times

Windows Server 2003 - 3 times

Windows Vista - 8 times

Honestly, I never enjoy going straight through the process of installing any of the operating systems. For those who know me, I will most probably be seeing at the strengthen bar during the facility as if I am very interested. However, I am in fact very frustrated and hoping that the strengthen bar could go as fast as it could be.

Attended Installation

Well, some of you may know that the normal facility straight through the Os Cd or Dvd (such as seeing at the strengthen bar and clicking several next buttons) is called attended facility and it is inherent that you create your own unattended facility using deployment tools. However, I will not be face the Windows unattended installation.

Unattended Installation

Most clubs use Imaging (Iso) to create a double copy of installed operating ideas so that they can in fact install the exact copy of operating ideas with their corporate settings to every new motor by extracting the Iso.

Iso Images

- Iso is an archive or a double or backup copy of whatever files that you wish to store

In other words, I create Iso images to backup my whole operating ideas hard drive data.

Hiren BooCd and Norton Ghost to create Isos

I use Hiren BootCd, the all in one Dos Bootable Cd. One of the software included is Norton Ghost, which can be used to create hard disk images known as Isos.

ImgBurn

ImgBurn is a Windows agenda and it's free. You can install it and create Iso images or burn the images into Cds and Dvds.

ImgBurn Vs Hiren BootCd

The difference between the two is that ImgBurn needs to be installed as a Windows agenda and undeniably, a good and easy tool to create Iso images. However, if your hard disk is corrupted, you won't be able to use ImgBurn unless you have dual booting. Thus, you need to use HirenBootCd and Norton Ghost to citation your Iso images to the corrupted hard disk.

The Idea

Simple:

1. Unblemished an attended facility or hand-operated facility from Cd or Dvd on one machine

2. install all the principal programs that you need such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Reader and the likes

3. Accomplish operating ideas updates

After performing the steps above, boot your computer from Hiren BootCd and you will come to a screen for you to agree the types of software that are bundled. Pick Norton Ghost from the list and from there, you can create an image out of your partition drive.

The Iso file can be stored in your hard disk for easy passage but not in the same drive where you install your operating system. If your computer fails to load or startup properly, you can then pop in Hiren BootCd, boot from the Cd and restore the Iso file.

The Practice

My own convention is to have at least two partitions, namely C and D.

- C drive will be the drive where I install my operating ideas and programs

- D drive will be my document drive

- A copy of Iso created from the C drive will be kept in D drive

Benefit

When operating ideas is corrupted, none of my document files will be affected when I citation Iso into the C drive. Extracting Iso to C drive will overwrite every data in C drive without any warning. However, after extracting the Iso, you will get the same settings and operating ideas as of the time when you create the Iso.

What's more? You do not have to go straight through the process of keying the stock key, choosing the time zone, installing the drivers and commonly used programs.
