rtbuell.. thanks for such a great video ! Quick question... Say my hard drive is toast and I need to get a new one. Can I use the disc and snapshot image on a new hard drive? Would I need to format the new hard drive at all before trying to do this? I will be building my FIRST system soon so I appreciate any advice! Thanks!!

[rtbuell2004]

@broggi007 Yup, you can use the snap shot on a new hard drive provided all other things on the system are the same, cpu, graphics card, etc... I am not sure if you have to format it first or not, I have never tested/tried that.

QUESTION: Lets say i made an ISO Snapshot of an Windows & OS ...... is it possible to load that image onto a different computer running a different OS eg. Vista ?

[rtbuell2004]

@crazeeblu Possibly. First, it will probably wipe out ALL data on the vista machine. You may also get into licensing issues with Microsoft. They will see that two computers now have the same key code. I am not sure what would happen. Thirdly, I am not sure how windows will handle the different drivers. For example, unless it is the exact same hardware, windows will need different drivers compared to the other PC. I am not sure how this would be handled.

Maybe save each partition apart ? I would be very thankful if you could anwser my question! And again thank you for the video's!

[heyaanimerocksheya]

Thanks for the video! I have two questions though. Is it possible to "snapshot" everything (all partitions) present on your pc ? (lets say 2 partitions, Data and Restore or something like that) And when you reload it, you have these 2 partitions saved as an ISO image, in wich partition should you reload it? because I'd think you dump each partition in it's original partition again, but seeing as they are in 1 ISO image, you wuold have to dump then in one of the partitions ...? (see next post)

Good video. At one point you mention that the color code used to identify the driver where restore needs to happen isn't clear. I noticed that as you click on the driver, the bottom portion swtiches between C and D drive.

One question though! Would this restore time back the Antivirus information we have? Say, my anti-virus is 2 months old when I create the back up, what happens when I restore this imssage 10 months later? Appreciate your video. Thanks.

It has to be the same model computer ... No formating is needed but it wouldnt hurt it.
