    Question Disc image is three times the size it should be.

    Sorry, Macrium has an 'image' function and I ended up deciding that despite some loss, it was easier to give up on a system restore, make the image, and manually copy things back to the new hd as I need them. Since the other option is to try and fit two hard drives in a case into which they...
