Re: Does it matter?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks very much - I've learned a lot.

Also, I must apologise - I returned to trying DriveImage, and reading the warning box (about deleting everything there) more carefully, I saw that I had to type in there the identity of the destination volume - although I had already selected it. I did that and hey presto, it works! Evidently my new HDD is properly partitioned and formatted. Since it was to received system boot files, I set the destination partition as Active.

Now I have set up my laptop to access Newsgroups and subscribed again to this one - to say "Thanks" while the image is being copied on my desktop. About 90 minutes probably.

Here I am using Thunderbird and shall go to a Mozilla forum to enquire about replies appearing separately here, instead of with the original message as they (mostly, at least) do in OE.

Incidentally, Computer Management opens here with no snap-in failed message.
With many thanks,
Yours sincerely, -

Disk Management is a stand-alone.  You can access it from the Administrative
Tools folder or...
Start | Run | Type:    diskmgmt.msc  | Click OK

Maybe that method will avoid your snap-in failed message.

Performance Logs and Alerts has nothing to do With System Restore.
[[The Windows Performance tool is composed of two parts: System Monitor and
Performance Logs and Alerts. With System Monitor, you can collect and view
real-time data about memory, disk, processor, network, and other activity in
graph, histogram, or report form. Through Performance Logs and Alerts you
can configure logs to record performance data and set system alerts to
notify you when a specified counter's value is above or below a defined
threshold.]]
