The image is simply a file that exists werever you store it

I'm not sure where to post this, so...:

I've ordered TrueImage 10.0.

My intent is to create a b/u complete image of my hard drive on to an
external drive, but I'm confused about something here.

The laptop I'm using has only a "C" drive let's say with 30gig used. (Dell
Inspiron 2200)

My USB WD external drive has two partitions, D and E.

I have assorted individual folders/files on each partition that I want to
keep there. Each partition has say 50 gig free.

My question: Can I create my image saved to the D partition and still
retain
the files/folders I had there and also still have use of that partition
for
adding other files?

Can I see that the "E" partition will be uneffected?

In other words, when I create a B/U image, is it just a file that would
reside on my external drive or does it turn that drive itself into the
image
(and hence lose what was already on there?).
