I have a full backup prepared with the Windows XP utility. I got a new hard-drive, and after installing XP, tried doing a "Restore" using the utility. This naive approach did not work because it creates a sort of hybrid between the new and the old systems... with files from the recently installed system not fully removed. Is there a way to reformat the C: Drive and restore from backup all in one shot, so that the end-result will be a pristine copy of my originally backed up system?
Thanks!
What is the correct way to restore a Windows XP system from a full backup?
If you insert the windows cd, there will be option for for formating/clean install and recovery from back up called known good configuaration.
but I recommend it slightly differently. To be safest, create partition in hard drive. then back up your previous installation there. Install fresh in other drive.
