CDreier Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I had a major crash/corruption of WinXP-SP3. This requires a fresh re-install (I will format the drive as well). My XP Installation disk only contains SP1a. I have a Retrospect 7.6 Backup from as late as yesterday. Here's my question: Once I do the installation of XP, will a "restore" include all of the drivers, settings, etc? Will the restore make me "good to go"? In other words, how would you suggest I proceed immediately following the install of XP-SP1a? Thank you.
Mayoff Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 If you did an all files backup, then Retrospect will restore the registry/full system. See http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=9691&p=2
CDreier Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Posted October 17, 2008 Thank you for your quick reply. In reading the Retrospect manual, it indicates that I must have SP3 installed, since that is what I had at the time of the crash. After I update to SP3 prior to the Restore, will the Restore place video drivers, etc where they should be, and configure them as they were before the crash - or must I find and reload all the drivers first? Thanks again.
Mayoff Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 If you had it at the time of the backup, then it will be restored.
