Can you restore the C drive by just copying files
Hi,
I was wondering if I copied all the contents of the C drive to an external drive, and something when wrong with the C drive, could you restore the files by copying them from the external drive to the C drive partition (in Linux running from a DVD for instance) and when you boot into windows, would it work normally. I'm ignoring windows backup or any other backup solution for now, just wondering what would happen if you just copy and pasted the files back to the C drive.
Thanks,
Tom
