Create ISO from current install

[Hitesh]

Morning all

Is this possible:

I have a PC that is installed with Tiny XP, extras such as SP3, Video Codec, and all the drivers etc. So its working 100% as I want it.

Question is : Is is possible to create an ISO from this so that if it crashes, I can install and get to this stage quickly from "my" ISO.

Hope that makes sense....

Regards, Hitesh

Yes (not an ISO, but same concept). I'd typically use Clonezilla for this: https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php

Thanks for the information Cools

Trying to do it with Acronis as it looks easier/less technical. Ex work colleague gave me a legit copy.

I have, sort of, gone back to cools suggestion.
So thank you cools.

If anyone is wanting to do this, the best option for a novice appears to be RESCUEZILLA, which is Clonezilla with a GUI to make things easy.

Thanks again cools. The next time I have a crash, it will be recovered in 12 minutes or so

Interesting, can you boot into Rescuezilla & clone one drive to another like with clonezilla?

What I mean is, I don't want to backup to an iso image that needs to be recovered, I want to clone a full windows install with all the software I need already installed (drive A) to a new, empty SSD (drive B) & then be able to remove drive A & boot straight into drive B.
