Thanks, Roger. Yes, I've always just re-installed, understanding that backup
of programmes doesn't really work too well.
Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Carol
No I re-installed all my programs from the original discs. I only did a
backup of them in case I was unable to work out how to re-install windows then
I could move everything back from my D drive where the backup was stored and
put it into the C drive where it was backed up from. As it happened the clean
re-install went very well so I had no need for the back up of programs which
means they have now been deleted from D drive and installed onto C drive from
the original discs. I'm told trying to restore a program from a backup is not
often very successful so I was glad I didn't need to do so.

OK, so having re-installed Windows via the normal means and your own
personal data, are you saying that you were able to restore programmes you'd
installed from backup, rather than putting them in from scratch?
Sorry if my understanding is a bit dim on this.

Hi Carol
The machine never crashed it was just cluttered and little irritations
had started to happen so I did a full back up onto my second drive in 2
sections. The data first and then everything else. The data I would need but
the rest was for insurance as I'd never done a re-install before. I reformatted
my C drive and re-installed Win XP and all my applications. Then I did the
data. Back-ups and restore of the data were done in Windows so my Supernova was
operational all the time. I don't know what Ghost does that the WinXP back up
facility doesn't do except for some advanced stuff I wouldn't understand
anyway. So my copy of Ghost stays where it is, in the cupboard.

Roger,
So you're saying you re-installed Windows, then did an XP backup.
Then, you crashed . . . or what!
I can see you could re-install anything if you hadn't crashed badly
but, if you can't get into the system, what then?

I do all my backups using the Windows XP facility and it works in
Windows so screen readers are fully functional. I have done full copies of my
hard drives when I did a clean re-install and lost absolutely nothing. I do in
fact have a copy of Ghost and just do not like it.

Hi,
Can you tell me off list just how you work the program?
And what version you are using.
