Very welcome... or Salt Just get yesterdays backup out and restore it onto a new drive. Everything should be fine, heheheh. Buy two drives and use one to store an image of the other. (Norton Ghost) Update the image every so often and keep a copy of the image file on both drives. If you have a CD writer then you can make a CD with a drive image and a boot disk with the Ghost startup files and the CD driver. If you lose a drive you can recast from the CD. You have to update the image by buying a new CD and you can only keep a basic image (OS and drivers) but you are never more than 6 or 7 minutes away from a fresh copy of your drive. You can actually fit a lot of stuff into a 650 meg image file. Windows, Office, IE etc...
