GoBack does it affect Windows or Hp restores

Recently I had trouble using Microsoft's restore as well as
Hewlett Packard. I disabled GoBack before trying to run them. a portion of a
systems file was missing. The result was I reformatted the drive and
reinstalled Windows Xp Home with the Hp patch. Apart from being generally a
good program which saves a lot of grief, does it have a complication of
screwing up Microsoft's restore.

I have been using GoBack since it was first released by "WildFire" and have
not experienced any problems with Windows. The only problem I encountered
was in Win 98SE doing a disk defrag with Norton Speed Disk. I always had to
disable GoBack before defraging, but the latest version of GoBack does not
seem to have that problem in Win XP Home. I've done several defrags with no
problems. I am curious though as to why you would even WANT to use the
Windows restore function when GoBack does the same thing; and does it
better!

The only bad? thing I have heard about GoBack is that it compresses the FAT
on your disk and COULD cause you to be unable to retrieve data from the disk
if it crashed and you were trying to recover data from it onto another drive
that didn't have GoBack installed. What are the odds!!? Even then, just
install GoBack on new drive.[/QUOTE]

In my previous post I mis-spoke. Instead of "compress" I meant to say
"encrypts". Also, this encrytion will prevent you from accessing the data
on this drive if you install it as a secondary or slave drive on a machine
that's primary drive does not have GoBack installed, if you did not disable
GoBack on the drive before installing it as the secondary or slave drive.

Once again, these are very remote possibilities![/QUOTE]
