Hello eldinv.

Have a look at the tutorial at the link below for a very easy way to create restore points when ever needed at every system restart or manually see " 4 A " in the tutorial.

System Restore Point : Create at System Startup

lol. i was only kidding and yes i know how to make a backup and a restore point, i was only kidding when i said i was going to install AIM and should i do a back or restore point.

that was a silly suggest i think, after several years i never heard of such a thing as to make a backup before installing such a program. i might take that advice when installing a program like VMWare that makes several changes to your computer.

anyhow thanks for help,

eldin

Set a System Restore point before you make ANY changes to your setup.

Run Chkdsk /r on each separate drive, then backup a SysImage and your data and run HD maker's full diagnostics/repair CD scan: Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.

Any kind of backup is never a bad suggestion. You might have lost more than a System Image there quite easily with no restore point or image/data backup to external.
