    My Win7 rig has a large main HD (640GB), but a small external HD (160GB). I also have several large personal data folders (~40GB apiece) on the main HD. But this makes my system images huge when I put them on the external drive. Is there a way to image my system without those large folders? [I also have those folders on a CD-RW, so I could always get them back...but I like to keep copies on the main drive for convenience]

    I would permanently store these on a separate drive or separate partition, then do the imaging, even if I used a 3rd party pgm like Acronis or Ghost.
