Thunderbird....need help

[Catty1]

I don't know, Reggie...I looked on my backup files...and queried Google again...looks like I didn't back up the right files.

I did have the folders backed up - but could not locate the new profile once I created it...

I need a backup and restore tutorial in the worst way.

Did you just do a back up when you started or did you image the HD to a different HD?

[Catty1]

I just did what I have learned so far...backed up D&Settings, Favourites, Desktop...

I have heard a tiny bit about backup by imaging the drive...I think there is a program called Acronis that can do that.

I have SpinRite.

blue, could you explain that a bit more to me, please?

Thank you.

Imaging the hard drive would have been the first thing I did. That way you have an exact copy of the hard drive you are working on, on a seperate hard drive, rather then relying on backups.

Im rebooting my other comp to see what my ultimate boot disc for XP has for imaging a hardrive.

Great tool to have, UBCD.

I have that in my CD tool kit!

How the heck does it work????

Will read the page later to see if there are instructions!

THe disc I have is newer then the one we used in class so it dosent have the imaging software we used. If you have a version older then mine I think the imaging software is Shawdow Drive, or something like that. Very easy to use. Driveimage XML is what my disc has, Ive used it once with excelent results.

Ild use a seperate hard drive rather then using a partion for safety of the data.

Catty if you find an UBCD that has Ghost32 on it get it. Ghost32 is very easy to use for imaging harddrives and restoring.
