Hi. I used Casper XP at the beginning of '05 to make a copy of two
drives onto a large backup drive. I did not use the latter for any
other use. I set up the cloning process to update periodically
thereafter. Like an idiot, I did not check to see if I could boot from
this backup drive in case of failure of the drive with the OS on it
(Win XP Home).
Now the chickens have come home to roost, and my Win XP intallation
has become corrupted to the point where I have not been able to repair
it using the one or two procedures normally recommended with the
original Win XP CD. When I was able to view the contents of the backup
drive, I saw about 20 Image*.tib files apparently created/updated at
various times. I did not see any other type of files, such as a
boot.ini one. I must have used the wrong drive copy option originally
when copying the older drives. What are my options here? My wife will
k__l me since she is the main user of this PC.
Thanks for reading.
