Thanks I'll start looking into acronis

I have Acronis true home 2010 with plus pack that says it has winpe iso builder in it but I dont have the bootable agent just the basics other than winpe but clueless as to how to use winpe.

Please forgive the Nube experience I am just getting started learning all these things. I have a HP a1720n with Vista Home Prem. and the thing has been a piece of junk since I bought it but I got to deal with it till I can afford another. Few problems I have had to change the mother board and 2 fans and recently got a CODE PURPLE from the tattoo in it, fixed all that and decided since I was redoing the whole thing and it has never allowed me to make a Rec Disk from the get go (At the time I didn't know most comps. started making their own disk till it was to late to make them) Anyway this time I got IMGBURN 2.5.5 and decided to make a ISO after setting it all up cleaning house making everything pretty. Well I am clueless to what to do I have made an ISO of software and burned to disk and was usable but I don't know where to start here. I would like to make an ISO of my C drive and make it bootable just in case something happens and my junk crashes. Is this possible or am I going about it the wrong way. I have Acronis boot rec media disk made if I make a ISO of my C: that's bootable can I use Acornis to load the ISO if so can I make the ISO and save it to my C: drive as well for the moment until I can burn it to disk or transfer it to a Ext Hard drive at a later date. If so what are my first moves and the settings in IMGBurn to make this happen here what I have done so far but stopped because it was going crazy in the log skipping things so I just stopped. Loaded IMGB clicked create image files from folders source C:\ destination C:\ OPTIONS Checked Preserve full path name, Recurse Sub, Include Hidden, sys, archive only Mode1/2048 ISO9660+UDF 1.02 Label 9660 Hp C drive UDF HP C Drive Advanced Restrictions ISO9660 checked Level X-219 Char Char set Standard Allow more than 8 dir Allow more than 255 chars Allow w/o file ext Allow exceeding size limit multi Bootable disk Options Checked make image bootable Emulation none custom boot image ( I think I used the right thing but not sure what I found about vista is it uses the bootsect.bak) found it and used it Load segment 07c0 Sectors 4 Extract Boot Image at bottom says Local Disk (C:)-[HP] Everything else is either the way it was or empty and some of these were the way they were already. Another should I be zipping down anything to make it smaller the total space on the drive used is around 47gigs is that even possible to make that lage a file into ISO. Again forgive my ignorance but can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and or if any of this is possible or am I biting off more than I can chew.
