    create user / customised recovery partition


    Hi folks

    It's Monday morning so my brain isn't working as good as it should be !! but I was wondering if it's possible to create your own recovery partition which would have something like a macrium restore image on it and be bootable. To make it really simple when booting from that partition it should just prompt the user to restore to Disk X (where X is the disk to be restored). The recovery partition could be on any HDD and could be compressed to minimize space.

    It must be possible to do this in a small space since computers when coming out of a store have a setup type of partition before first use of a computer. It would be more useful if the user could customise what the recovery partition should contain -- my objective would be to keep it as simple as possible --just restore -- no fancy tools etc.

    Cheers
