Beyond_Life Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If making an image of your laptop requires that ammount of space, then you have to make room for that image. I dont know if you can shrink an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Krause Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Compression should be enabled. How much data is on your drives that you took a partition of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
