I am intigued to know more - can you explain what sort of information is in there? Most drive restore programs (Drive Snapshot does) when they restore a drive image restores each file one at a time, so the restored disk gets defragmented. This also allows the restore to go onto a different type/geometry of disk drive. What more does replacing the HAL cover?
Does it mean if you replace a fried PC with a different make and model you can install the same Windows image onto it? I presume although I have never tried it that this cannot be done from a normal image restore?

(Hardware Abstraction Layer?) The comment made with regards to True Image was that it could effectively replace the above during a drive restore, meaning you could snapshot the drive on hardware X and safely restore it on hardware Y without things bombing due to hardware differences. Very appealing concept, since sometimes more than just a drive can be toasted. cheers, peter _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic __________ NOD32 1.1461 (20060329) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
