Creating An Image Of Your Hard Drive

If you accidentally destroy your RAID driver (which will lock you out of Windows, and your computer) you are almost forced to find a solution to stop this before you do it. Windows doesn’t provide any applications for this solution. They may have a system restore function but it’s no good if your restore driver has been destroyed. But there is a solution to this, what is needed is a free application that creates an image of a Windows installation, and after some research i found that Drive Image XML is the perfect solution for this as it’s free and can duplicate your hard drive. All you need to do is to download the application run it and choose the Backup Option.
