Hi People,
I got sick of performing clean installs of windows XP and other software every couple of months. So I just got norton ghost 2003 and installed on my PC, did a clean install of windows and all updates and then installed all the software i required onto my hard drive that has two paritions C and D. I then made a ghost copy of my C parition onto CDs. This went through ok.
to check if it would work properly, i tried restoring the ghost copy made back to my C parition, which seemed to go ok too. after the process completed, i found that all my data from the D partition was erased. i dunno how this happened or whether i made any kinda mistake in the process.
Does any one know how to ensure that the ghost copy is restored to only a particular partition and does not affect data anywhere else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanx :)
