when you run true image, no option to backup?
choose backup my disk, then file by file, don't choose bit by bit unless you want to backup every single bit on C:\ partition which resulting as big as your C drive

[attachmentid=1340852]
how ?? the initial backup size ald so large ><

well, you got 80GB data on that C:\
I only done it on XP+programs and can get it just under 4GB to fit in dvd

[attachmentid=1340854][attachmentid=1340855][attachmentid=1340856][attachmentid=1340857]

just leave it default
unless you want to split it into 4GB/8GB but seems impractical with 20++ parts....

as i said, i never bother with backup...

all my stuff are in D:\, and i make a copy of them in external HDD...

whenever i want to format, i can do it any time without hesitation... install Windows 20mins, re-install essential programs, 30mins...

even highly compress?
