Boris Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Create a rubbish notepad file with the same name and extension as your Drive Image file and copy it to that partition - so it over-writes ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 hmmm........ I think I'm stuck with it. It was I think the first backup that I made on a partition that I have since remerged with my c drive. The trouble is I can't see the DI files there..... I can't see it in my DI history and I tried the link that Powerless gave me... but because there don't seem to be any DI files I can't follow it....my other backups are there in the DI history so I can get rid of them that way!!!
