Hello,
I made a partition on my external Hard Drive for HirensBootCD and for Acronis.
A few questions if I may:
1 - I used "Universal USB Installer" to extract HirensBootCD for a partition on my Hard Drive that I made especially for it. - Is there any better and more recommended software?
2 - There's no option for Acronis Extraction through the software I've just mentioned. - How should I do that?
3 - In summary, what is the best software to do this kind of stuff? Is it OK to use this programs from an external hard drive or would it be better to use this through a regular disk?

Those are really meant to be run from a bootable CD/DVD. Not living on the hard drive.

I had that feeling..
Now my hard drive will be 3 partitions as 1 dynamic partitions. I hate it when it looks such a mess...
Got any recommendations for an MCSA & CCNA student? ;)

For general diagnostics, booting from DVD is far preferable than trying to boot from an external USB drive. Not all machines can boot from an external hard drive

Just burn a couple of DVDs, and wipe that drive and use it as needed.
