I was wondering if there was some software able to clone my hard drive which is partioned c (ntfs) d(fat32). If i change the size of d(fat32)partion then my recovery disc will not work,all drivers and most software is backed up on this drive. If my drive fails i will not be able to restore my pc. The motherboard is an oem msi made for medion and no suport from msi is available. Medion is useless to get any imformation from. I would like to have a clone back up drive. The manual for the pc is mickey mouse and shows nothing about mb settings. Is this possibe with this type of setup and how do i go about doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is a manual for a program called Acronis migrate. It has a fully functional 15 day trial.
If you have a 2nd hard drive, you plug it in your computer and makes an exact duplicate. Usually it is set to automatically format the source drive, but I'm sure you can set it to just make a copy. Simply unplug your 2nd hard drive before you start up windows again, it will have trouble starting with 2 of the same OS next to each other.
If any questions let me know, I own a copy of version 6 and can say it works well.

From the way it sounds, you have 1 HD and 2 partions, C: is your main drive and D: is the restore drive right? and D: drive is probably locked, are you needing to unlock this drive?

Hello, not sure about it being locked, but im worried if i have a hard drive failure i will loose the ability to restore. The single drive is partioned into 2, if the physical size of d is changed it will not restore the computer back to its original state. this is what is stated
.Any changes that have been made to the size of the hard drive partition will affect the ability to restore your system. Do not change the partition sizes
If you delete the directory D:\Recovery or the files located in this directory, Recovery from Hard Drive is no longer possible. In this case the system will attempt to rebuild your system from the disc, if a valid recovery media (an Application Support Disc with recovery files) is available.
