Reason given for charging £60 for the Restore disc was it's specially designed by the particular manufacturer to assist beginners in event of trouble. It only works on the one machine. The real reason I believe, is, Microsoft says No to manufacturers providing the full XP disc in an attempt to stop piracy.
I hadn't a clue when first purchasing, switching the machine on and off correctly were my first lessons!! A bit further down the road I kept reading, "use your installation disc" for this that or 'tother, I was handicapped other than 'System Restore' in XP. Drive Image 2000 answered that and now DI 7 is better again.
Installing a second drive was a blessing, image completed in 9 minutes as against 45 mins or more copying to CDR. One copy was to CDRW, took 3 hours!
Iain's said all there needs to be said, what's good for him I follow without any further ado.
My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.
