haggis999 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am planning to replace my existing C: disk (containing Windows XP Pro and all my apps) with a larger disk and I would prefer not to reinstall everything from scratch. Would a Retrospect 7.0 DR CD restore my system successfully in such circumstances or is it limited to a disk of the same size as before? Apart from the time-saving aspect of such a procedure, I am also viewing this as an opportunity to test the DR process. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yes - as long as the disk is big enough there should be no issues with changing hard drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis999 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Amy, Thanks for prompt response. Is it vital that the DR CD is created using an i386 folder from a Windows XP Pro installation CD that has been 'slipstreamed' with SP2 and all subsequent Windows updates?

AndrewA Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 It is vital if you have backed up a Windows XP SP2 system, you want to make sure the DR disk has the same SP as the OS that you backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
