Can anyone tell me STEP BY STEP how to make AND restore a
fully bootable system image on windows XP pro so that in
case my computer is unable to boot, I can have it up and
running within an hour. My situation is rather like a
previous post in that I also have very precious programme
licences that would cost me over £700 if lost and I also
have a removable 27GB hard drive to back up to. I only
want all the files from my computer to be backed as it
would be pointless to back up the 11GB of files in my
removable drives as I don't have all the time in the
world. My scenario is that I don't know how to make a
fully bootable system image without files from removable
drives/disks and if it is worth to as I can view my files
stored on there with another computer. My major concern
is the registration codes and if they will be lost.
I was also wondering if I could make a backup of my C/:
drive that should contain all my programs and codes
(please state if you think program codes are stored
elsewhere) and restore it after I reformat the drive
after a unbootable situation so I can still have all my
precious codes after I restore it with a brand new
windows XP. If you have anything that you find hard to
understand, please let me know as this is quite urgent
for me.
Thanks very much.
