I want to create a recovery image for my Ativ Book 4. Getting tired of dealing with Windows and I want to put Linux Mint God willing.
However if for some reason I need windows again I want to be able to boot it up from an external source because I plan on wiping all the partitions. I was planning on making a bootable disk of the factory image via flash drive but my dad said it was not a good idea because of reliability. I can't make a bootable image out of my external harddrive because I have stuff on it. I can however put a non bootable factory image on my harddrive but I don't know how I will be able to use it later on.
I could buy dvds aswell.
Also is it possible for me to save a non bootable image to my external harddrive and later turn it into a bootable image using a flash drive?
The factory image is 15GB
What should I do friends?
Thanks
