Posted June 20, 201212 yr FPCH Admin How can I create system images from 2 seperate computers on common external usb disk. Background: I made a system image of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore > Create a system image) and placed it on an external hard drive (Samsung S2 Portable 3 USB Device). I I let Windows choose what to back up. I did this on the first PC.All went well. I then went to a second PC with my external usb hard drive and tried to follow the same procedure but I get an I/O error. I suspect that it's because Windows backup is trying to create another directory called "WindowsImagebackup" and the directory already exists from the first PC I backed up. So How do I store multiple system images from different laptop computers on the same usb external hard drive? Do I have to partition my external usb hard drive for each computer I want to create a system image for? View the thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
