Sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough to see the post from BCW1973. However, my situation is a bit different, as I am backing up files from a defective H/D to install on a new H/D on the same machine.
When I backed up my C drive to the 3 CD-Rws, will the OS be included in the backed up files?
Also, I performed an Image Integrity Check by loading the files from all 3 CDs. But, when the loading terminated, the pc just rebooted back to my desktop without any confirmation. Was there supposed to be a confirmation?
Anyone with experience using Norton Ghost 2003 (or any backup utility) to backup C: drive to a new hard drive?
I'm replacing a defective, newly installed hard drive. I've already backed up the data from the H/D onto 3 CD-RWs. Can I just load the info from these 3 CDs onto the new H/D without first loading the OS (Window XP Home UPGRADE)onto the new H/D, since the backup CDs already contain the operating system?
