I have created an image file of my C drive as a partition on my E
drive.

What I want to know is:

1. Can I restore my settings from this image file on the E drive or do
I need to write the image file to a DVD first?

2. If I write it to a DVD:

(a) How do I give the DVD a boot menu allowing me to restore the image
file?
(b) Do I need any other sofwtare on the DVD to read the image file or
is it self-extracting?

3. Apart from mounting the image file in Acronis and looking at its
contents, is there any way to confirm that the image file will
successfully restore my C drive without taking the drastic (and no
doubt time-consuming) step of actually restoring it?

(Thanks for your patience!)

When you`ve burned the image TI will let you Test it.
