Hi Texas! The reply by @RichM Is right on the money. The rescue disc is Linux based and what I call a live disc. It allows you to boot into Macrium if for some reason your PC won't boot into windows. I don't see why you would want to re-install a fresh copy of windows and then restore a Macrium image, but yes you could! Like @RichM suggests. After installing a fresh copy of windows from what ever media you have, then you could copy and paste or drag and drop from the image. If you take a look at my thread about Macrium, you will see where I mounted a image as a virtual drive. Then I can copy and paste or drag and drop. I prefer the copy and paste. Some times I drop some thing where I don't want it.Here's link from HTG that will show you how to mount a image and recover data from it! I hope this answers your question. The simple answer is YES! With all the added confusion, I hope I have cleared this up for you! You will be glad you spent the time to learn Macrium and ToDo.Right, I'm saying I have Macrium and ToDo installed and created an image using both programs. If the rescue disc didn't work for either, could I still re-install Windows and then re-image the drive with the image I previously created with the programs?
