Can I make a restore disk of win98se computer ? I have it on a older
computer that I want to "mess with" I want a easy way to reinstall the
software if need be. I have all the original disks, but a restore disk
would be easier. I have tried ghost with no luck, could I have done
somethink wrong? Thanks

You can do at least two things that I am familiar with. First you
could take a hard drive large enough to hold the data you have on the
original HD and copy that data to the second HD with XXCOPY using the
clone switch. You can search the web for a free download of that program.


I have used XXCOPY, but to do a full system it might be beter to use the
free utility that may drive makers have to install a new drive. I have a
hard drive in a removable tray that is a duplicate of the one in the
computer. Using the free Maxtor program I back up the hard drive about once
a month. All data is backed up to a CD when I have enough new data on the
drive I think it needs it. Mostly every time I download in new pix of the
digital cam.
