windows clone

[Jay Bee]

I have tried several backup methods with varying success, but not reliable, so now the idea is to reformat and copy the virgin windows to a new remote h/drive this gives a good sound system backup but how would I get the computer to read the remote the next time that I reformat?
Also this should overcome this reactivation lack don't you think!
Thanks in advance

Get yourself a copy of Acronis True Image (best) or Norton Ghost.

Both of these allow you to back up your system, then restore it to exactly the backed-up state at a later time.
