RE: Windows registry cleanup tools - PowerQuest Drive Image

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Norman,

Thank you. Just to get this absolutely clear for myself . . .

Suppose I've installed Ghost 2003 and have used it to make an image on my
USB external drive of my laptop drive (C:). Then suppose the hard disk on
my laptop goes kaplooey. Could I then walk over to CompUSA, buy a new
laptop drive, physically swap it out for the broken one inside my laptop ,
and somehow boot the laptop through the USB from the external drive? How?
my BIOS does not allow booting from USBs? Hmmm, maybe I need to burn DRDOS
from Ghost onto a CD, so I could boot from that? Is that doable?


At any rate, if I can somehow boot the laptop using DRDOS, could I then
restore from the external drive's image and proceed as if nothing had
happened (or nothing since my last image-making)?


Worriedly,
Harry
