re-installing from backup

footman · 31 Mar 2006 at 07:25

Hi
I'm doing a new build this weekend and use Norton Ghost9 to create a backup image on a seperate ide HDD from which I can restore . Does anyone know if this also restores registry settings associated with the applications restored.

What Im really asking of course is do I have to manually restore from CD all my applications!

cheers

sorry to appear thick but Im not quite clear what you mean by that.

(sorry didnt see the"AV" bit !!)

I can see that if I restored the entire drive then all settings would be restored, but in this case as its a clean install I will only be restoring selected folders.

Oh I see, in that case no the registry settings will not be restored.

I suppose you could restore the selected folders and then chose to restore the registry too, although this would work it kinda defeats the object of a nice fresh XP install.

Time to get out those CD's and Serial numbers then...

absolutely...cheers for the comments all.
