Re: [Simply Computers] backup and restore

 

Thanks, Roger.--
This is pretty much in line with my experience and thoughts. I have made the
System repair disk, and I have the Win7 upgrade (from Vista) disk. (Both
Belt and Suspenders).
One funny thing-- The System disk (at first) would not let me run "Upgrade"
because it found that I had already upgraded. After I found the repair CD
and could get to the backup files and (after two tries) got things working
again, Then it would let me into the Upgrade option. ??
This group has been a real help, both contributing and psychologically.
