Clone your dads laptop to your drive with a drive wire.

Sorry, it's not possible to recreate the image file. You will have to reinstall from the OS disk. Or post the problem you are trying to solve here and maybe someone can help. Have you tried System Restore to go back a few days or weeks? Directions for restoring or reinstalling are here.

Hi, If you have deleated the partation, then as Mary said you will have to use your reinstall disc to reinstall your OP. However, if you have deleted the files inside your partation, and the partation is still there, then you can copy over the files.
