I couldn't find complete backups only backups for personal files.
My goal is to format my hard drive and install Vista Basic. And once
it's installed with all updates I want to create a backup of my entire
drive. I guess they
refer to it as an image. In order to restore this image one needs to have a
boot disc with
the software that was used to create the image?
