Reinstalling Windows.old

Can I exchange the Windows folders as I asked?

No, that won't work.

SIW2. I don't follow about checking "PM". I connected the external backyup drive to my desktop and I found it contained my clone. If I could get my desktop to recognize the external drive, I could use the backup recovery disk to rebuild my system. Any suggestions?

That would be "Private Message", here's a little info on that,

Private Messaging


In that link you can get to yours by clicking the link in the box I outlined below,

Hi
On the top left of every forums page you'll see Private messages
If you have one unread it will show a # of how many

That depends on the skin, mine are on the top right.

I finally got my desktop to recognize my external drive. I used windows explorer to access it and the clone exixts. I tried my recover disk for my backup program but it doesn't work on clones. I could purchase the version that does but that requires quite a bit of work to my desktop to access the internet. Since all my folders are in the clone and my recovery disk will transfer individual files, could I take that route? It would be time consuming but I am willing to do it to recover my OS.
