    hi, when i click on my c-drive properties, it says that i am using 163 giga bytes. i created a system image with win 7 backup utility. and the image is only 59 giga bytes. if it is an exact image, then how come it is not 163 giga bytes?

    Hello Nicholas,
    When you perform a backup or image, the file is compressed to save space. If in the future you need to restore the back up or image, you will get your 163 GB C: drive back. :)
