4) I am putting in a new IDE drive.
5) I want to restore to the new IDE drive.
6) I put in a new IDE, loaded Windows 2K.
7) I then restored system files and registry using alternate location selecting c:\
8) I rebooted, no apparent problem
9) I then restored the rest of the C drive, again using alternate location selecting c:\ and not replacing existing files.
10) While the files seem to be there, the programs do not run properly and say that are "not installed" which to me suggests registry problems.
Q: Any reason why the registry doesn't seem to be properly installed?
NTBackup only works properly if you restore it to the same drive on the same PC. If you try restoring your system to a different drive or PC it will usually screw up,. You need identical HAL layers just for a start. So changing an SCSI disk for an IDE one will probably prevent the backup from working just on that issue alone.
