Now that ghost is sat to span and compress you can begin your imaging. Again cause Ghost can not write to CD, you must first stage the image on another HD or partition.

To make an image file of your main OS partition, select Partition to image.

Now select the HD that you want to back up

Because we selected partition to image we will be offered another screen asking to select the partition on the HD. I recommend you label your HDs in Windows, this way you know for sure which HD your looking at. Note in the picture Drive1 and Drive2. You should also look at the total size.

Here is where you select to save the image files. The staging drive should be large enough to hold the images. Remember, you can not select a CD Recorder to save.

Now, you will be asked if you are sure. Double check the partitions you selected, and proceed.

Performing the actual recording.
