Thread needs solution

Hi,
I just purchased this product last night,installed it,and did a mirror image of my C drive,my question is:How do I proceed as to do a complete re install of my Windows7 and then re install my programs I had running on my previous version.
Sincerely
Robert

If your backup was only of drive C, there is a good chance it was not all inclusive of what is needed to create a replacement disk--should one be needed. Most Win7 retail installs has more partitions than just drive C. If you open the Windows Disk Management graphical view, it will display the partition arrangement of your disk.

The link below provides details on how to create a backup task and illustrates the "disk mode" option which is the type backup you need for all partitions to be included. Note figures 3. 4 and especially figure 5 inside the link. You need a full and complete backup of all partitions (a disk mode backup) if your current disk should falter and you need to create a replacement disk.

The link below will illustrate how to restore your system. Restoring your backup of drive C overtop the old drive C will put your drive C back to the same condition or configuration that existed at time of backup creation. Whatever programs were already installed at time of backup will be included in the restore. Item #3 at this link will illustrate how to restore drive C only.
