Hi All
My latest PC came without a recovery disk - vista - and has a hidden recovery partition on it instead. Have installed a second drive and wondered if this could be backed up?
Was thinking of a resore and then installing acronis drive image and then making a backup as this would work.
Noticed you can select the hidden for backup only, but wondered if this would be usable?
Any info appreciated

First off check the all programs list or the instruction manual on how to make recovery disks,there should be that option

You'd have to try cloning the disk & then booting the newly cloned drive,is it really necessary for you to want to back that drive up when you could simply create an image file of c drive & install that to the new hdd & use the original as backup,yes you can install c without the recovery partition regardless of where the recovery partition is situated,when cloning my hp desktop i was unable to use f10 to get to recovery console tho i used ghost 12 so didn't bother with acronis 9.0 which i have as well,you really need to try it & see how things go for you,the only advice i would give is it's best to create one time images & start by reformatting

Reason why to reformat:-
creating 5 initial images from initial install then as you add software & updates is you will have a point in time to go back to if you want to make major hardware & software changes without having to reformat


If i can't help this is your best bet
