reinstall without discs

Hi Maxie

I may seem a tad slow here, by images do you mean archiving?

I do have an external HD with which I used to archive my Office 2007 files on my old PC; and it used to show them as being there before it “died”
But when I connected it up to this replacement, my normal files (photos, letters etc) were there but no sign of the Outlook Office files?

I’m sure I will get there but yes I have learnt a hard lesson, back it up and back it up again; reminiscent of the old Win 95 & 98 where you had to save at regular intervals before “blue screen of death” would appear

(I still have a an old PC that runs on Win 98 for a Wissen program I sometimes use)

A good and interesting learning curve, thanks for the assist!
Regards
Richard

Hi Maxie

You are going to think me a bit thick, but how do you take an "image"?
It is not something I have ever heard mentioned before, but seems a wise move (that being you know what it is!!)

Richard

Thanks Maxie

Promise I will leave you in peace (for a time!) while I do some serious reading.
I’m going to pick up another of these, they are cheap and I can get one for pennies as it has a very small HD; which of course I am going to ditch (or maybe use as the place to store the OS)

But I would prefer to play with something that I can afford to wreak (or improve)
We will see!!

Take care & thanks
Richard

As a man once said in a crappy film "I'll be back"!
Bet your sweet life I will be back once I have got the info stuffed in between my ears, assimilated and largely understood

I rebuilt my old Yamaha motorbike via various forums and a big dose of YouTube; which begs the question what did we (and our fathers before us) do before 'tinernet??

Take care and thanks, will speak again of that I am very sure!!
