Do you have an HP? BTW, when you start the restore, they ask you are you really sure you want to do this? It will wipe out everthing you installed since you bought the computer....but actually it restored everything on the HD. I was impressed.
I just have to do some tweaking to get folders and things back to the way I like them. There may be a few programs that won't function. I found one allready.
No, I have a home built system. Really need to do a back up. But I see XP has the restore. Do you figure it works the same? The HP system sounds great.
Anyhow, I think I had best do a date back up. I have the burner and the disks next to me. Would hate to loose some data I have on there since my last back up.
