Am I out of the loop? Are these laptops coming with (2) 2.5" hdd's now??????

Or is this 1 drive and 2 partitions. It makes no sense to keep a back-up image on the same physical drive as C.

Section 1 Part 1 & 2.
The answers are the same. If you have an image made from Acronis (tib). To recover, you need a rescue CD. You can make one from within the Acronis program. You don't need to make one if you have the cd Acronis came on. If you down loaded Acronis, you can make or create a rescue cd from within the program. Place the rescue cd or the acronis cd in the cd drive and restart and you will boot into a rescue environment from which you can point to the tib image and restore it.

Section 2
I don't know of a way to do what you ask here. However, I would love to find out. The recovery partitions on HP laptops allow you to to a complete recovery but wipes your c drive in the process. Also it reloads all the crapware that came with the computer in the first place. I would love to create a recovery partition that was free from all the crap.

Keep asking and the answer is sure to come. I will do the same. Good luck!
