Can i make a system image on the same drive i want to restore it to?
Long story short, tried restarting the PC, couldn't boot it to windows, tried everything and couldn't boot/repair it. Seems to me that HDD is a goner. I'm using a USB drive with Hiren's Boot install...

For a 2TB drive, the image size will depend on how much data is actually used, not the total capacity. If you have, say, 200GB of data, the image might be roughly 200–250GB, sometimes a bit more because of system files and compression.
