XP image ?

[ManyBeers]

I use Image For Windows to image my C:drive and Program files. I have only a
few programs in Program Files and the majority are on D:drive.I do this to
keep my imaging needs small since my laptop can only burn cds. My question is
if i were to experience a problem and need to use my Image For Windows image
to reinstall Xp would that adversely affect the programs on D:drive. I>E>
they would no longer work and would i lose My Documents which are also kept
on D: drive. I don't think i would because the image is an exact duplicate of
the Operating system, registry everything. Correct?

Nope.

Nope.

Since I've no idea if 'Nope' means no, you won't lose anything or no you
are not correct, I would just ignore Uncle Grumpy unless you can figure
out what he means.
To answer your question, when you restore the image your c drive will be
identical to when you created the image for all used clusters.
If you installed new programs on d after the last image create, the
restored registry will of course not reflect those changes. Some
programs may not care, if you've lost program shortcuts you can
re-create manually.

NOPE definitely meant NO and since the OP's post was quite incoherent,
it was in reply to:

Re-reading everything you probably are correct, not at all clear what he
is asking. My reply attempted to cover what he might have meant, but
probably a bad post on my part.
