The Dell recovery process expects to find the recovery image on the D: partition on the hard drive. What you should do is image your *system*, not the recovery partition, and store the image on the external hard drive. I'm not familiar with Keriver Image Backup but assume it is similar to the Acronis True Image I use to do this.

Keriver is as of Acronics True image. image of system created and kept in external hard drive. However image of recovery D on external hard drive will be also feasible to restore the same image in Drive D incase of any damage to recovery partition D.Now i am in fix, does the image restored in D will work as of Recovery D.Also help me wheather the function key F8 will work as it functions to factory image D. -- nisar6788 |

I have no idea if the recovery image you backed up will work if you put it back on Drive D. Try it and find out or call Dell tech support and ask them.

I agree with what Malke wrote, and add... why don't you just make an image of your entire disk, including the recovery partition. That way, if your hard disk totally fails, you can restore it to where you were at the time of making the image, rather than taking it all the way back to the day you first fired the computer up. |
