LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Define 'programs' ? Everything in your 'C:\Program Files' folder ? If so, I suggest you take a full copy of your hdd using something like Acronis True Image instead.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Ok but what I'm saying is that if you want a backup of your machine then you should use a proper tool for the job - and ImgBurn is NOT it. ImgBurn is fine for backing up your documents / photos etc but it's not the correct tool to be using for a program / system backup - where you'd need the registry saved too. If you're happy with just backing up your documents / photos, use the 'Write files/folder to disc' or 'Create image file from files/folders' option.
