MxxCon Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 um, xp comes w/ backup prgrm. if you want to backup *EVERYTHING* then use disk imaging like Ghost, but then what's the point of reinstall:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kheldar Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Word of caution, I used Windows Backup to save my C drive, the results on restoring it were not pretty. Registry was screwed up big stylee. Best bet is Ghost it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 well no ****. regular is not supposed to backup your registry. if you want to backup registry you are supposed to do it during boot time when it's not loaded or locked back is in START> PROGRAMS> ACCESSORIES> SYSTEM TOOLS> BACKUP:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerockhead Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Use Norton Ghost. Make an Image of the partition you are going to re-install on then stick it someplace else. Then if your re-install screws up you can revert back to the image. Also if you forgot to save something you can always get it back from the image since every single thing that was on that partition is stored in the image, and you can extract folders, files etc. using ghost explorer.
