Hi ,,,,I took David Baileys advice and installed Macrium Reflect Free to try out.
It showed me my drives, but there is some I have not seen before,, Could someone tell me what they are and
do I need them and how can I see whats on them,, or do I need them.
Here they are:
1 WINRE (none) NTFS Primary 400 MB
2 No name (None)Fat32 (LBA) Primary 260MB
3 (None) Unformated Primary 128 MB
4 (C) NTFS Primary 674 GB
5 (none) NTFS Primary 450 MB
6 Recovery (D) NTFS Primary 23GB

I guess number 4 is the c drive with all my system and prog files and number 6 is the drive to do a boot installation recovery with but its the other 4 I am at loss with.
I do hope you can help please.

1,2,3,4 are partitons from Windows UEFI installation. Apparently, you updated from Windows 8 -> 8.1 and the update created an extra partition 5. 6 is your recovery image from factory.

Macrium just shows you what you have on the HD. If you open Disk Management, you would see the same thing.

Just one more question please,,,it seems a lot (161 G) to backup all six partitions with Macrium, do I need to backup all six or can I get by by not backing up the recovery partition and the other one that the update to 8.1 put there that is a recovery partition I think,,,,and if Im righy which one is it,? I mean I only want to backup in case I get a virus or something.
Thanks

You should backup 1,2,3,4,5. FYI, 1,2,3,4 are very small, only several hunhred MB's, the biggie is your C: drive and I guess you save your personal data in it also and that makes it so big. For good practice, you should save/move your personal data to another drive or to an external drive to make backup/restore more manageable and faster.
