I thought I had one, ....now I'm beginning to wonder?
(I use XP Home ed. on c: ...cross posted to W98 'cause this is really a
back-up question & solution possibly of interest to more than just me?)
I have 2x80gb Maxtor 6Y080L0's on IDE0 -
drive's c: d: e: & f: on the master hd and g: h: i: j: & k: on the slave
hd.
Now, I use Norton 9.0 to ghost c: into a folder on drive i: in 700mb chunks,
and stuff a Windows back-up "system state only" in there as well, and keep
promising myself that I'll burn all chunks to cd-r just after doing it.
Then I Ghost drive's i: and j: into folders on drive f: (just dawned on me
that I'm ghosting an already ghosted drive c: back to i: ! ...will have to
sort that out).
If my drive c: went bang and had to be replaced, and I had to restore c:
from image file/s on drive i: , how's it done ?
Pitfalls anybody ?
I was guessing that after replacing the master hd, I'd install XP Home ed.
onto drive c: on the new drive, then install Norton Ghost 9.0, ...but how
would you overwrite the windows platform and the Norton Ghost program that's
being used on c: to restore the image ?
I'm getting very rusty these days !
