( erased the whole c drive), he said you can't overwrite xp os and the c drive contents that was installed for example this month 2005 and then overwritten later in the future with a backup of the os on another partition that was incrementally backed up every month or so for a few years and then try to overwrite the 2005 c drive contents in 2007 with a 2007 backup of the c drive with its 2007 contents, it will only work that way if you do a clean format wipe out the c drive first. (3) he also stated that norton ghost 9.0 is bad software and ghost 2003 has a better chance of working because it has to be dos ( floppy based) to have a chance of working so I must use 2003 instead of 9.0Īnd (4)also told me that ghost will not copy on to dvd only to a cd and thats a maybe, but he said the best chance for a successful copy would be to another partition on my hardrive (5) and then it would only be useful if I reformated the c drive ( it’s a brand new $2,500 computer ) ,the reason he gave for doing this is because if he tried to make a backup copy with the software without removing the hardrive it would not copy those xp system files that were in use while making the backup, so it would be a poor copy and would not work as a restore to bring back my computer to the state it was in before a problem occured , ,(2) I should bring in my computer to the shop and the only way to make a copy of my hardrive was to remove the hardrive from the computer, I am hesitant to do this to my pc He also stated that if I wanted to backup my hardrive I called a computer repair company and asked to come over and make a copy of my c drive on dvd for me at my home (its 100.00 an hour) and asked him how long it would take and he said 26 hours ? which of course is not do -able (1) how long do you think it would take to make an backup image of my c drive I have a 250 gig three partitioned hardrive the c : drive is 10 gig and I have everything in the c drive
