I was wanting to set my laptop to factory default due to some problems I was having. But first i wanted an image in case things went wrong. I bought a 128gb flash drive thinking i could do a backup. Lo and behold I found nothing but naysayers. So what the hell, already bought the flash drive.
First thing I did was convert usb drive from fat32 to NTFS. Then i downloaded Macrium reflect which was free. To my surprise it worked. I was able to create an image of my nootbooks hdd with 100gb of used disk space. Macrium compressed the data to 69mb which was stored unto the usb chip. easy peasy. Only thing is if it will restore should need arise. The cool thing it only took 40 minutes which is fast. Not only that my notebook has usb 2 ports. The chip is usb 3 backward compatable. Wowsers. Totally amazed. Only paid $35 for pny chip. Wasnt sure where to post this.
