I believe them becuz my system is completely hosed! The only thing on my computer I really care about is FP and Image Composer. I have had those programs for so long and have moved around quite a bit in the interim and no longer have the original system disks. I also don't have a backup progam... Advice on how I can "backup" FP and Image Composer such that I can reload after I reload Windows?

I think that restoring a backed up partition would defeat the purpose of the reformat / reinstall... but it might be worth checking on. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

(If I remember right you don't have to have Ghost installed to create the floppies for backing up... I could be wrong tho) I had a HDD that crashed so hard before I had a chance to back it up that I couldn't even get it to boot into the Ghost floppies... I ended up using Knoppix Linux to go in and save my important files to a CD-RW before I replaced the drive. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Ghost is just to make the back ups easier (when i get this damn thing fixed..lol) _____________________________ Dan (in reply to bobby)

I'm going to buy my wife a Maxtor One-Touch so she can back up her Windows partition easier... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
