I have a system with two hard drives, a smaller hard drive
with two partitions (a small FAT 16 partition for DOS and
a NTFS for Windows 2000) and a larger hard drive.
The smaller hard drive holds all system data and
application programs. Now, the drive has started to sound
bad, so I have decided to do a prompt replace. I want to
have my system unchanged (no fresh install). The DOS
partition is OK to make a fresh install of DOS on.
As I plan it, it would be enough to use the built in
backup, to do a complete backup of my two partitions,
including system state. This backup I will have on my
larger hard drive. Then I would create two partitions on
my new hard drive, install DOS on one partition and
Windows 2000 on the other, then use the backup restore to
get my system back as it was. Will this scheme work?
What bothers me, is when I log on as administrator on the
new install, that administrator will have another ID
number than has my administrator account on the backup.
What will happen? Will the other users and their
respective security settings work after restoration?
