Bought a second computer awhile ago. One for internet, one offline. Wanted
it as 'right' as I could. So, enquired to all my vendors etc as to whether
or not new software was coming out, and wether or not thier app was sound on
win2000. OK. Loaded all the software. Checked. Made a ghost image (2001) to
the other computer. Split it in the process, to 3 files, each less than
650MB. Burnt these to CD. Scrubbed the win2000 computer entirely with the
Norton Ghost 2001 utility; 'g' disk. Then did nothing else except reload the
image from the CD's. It went easy. And it was if nothing was every scrubbed
or reloaded.
Downside:
#1 Used a parallel cable for the transfer. Took about 4 to 6 hours from
memory, for about 1.5GB. Guess their are faster cables.
#2 The bloody vendors had me. Program upgrades about the first week after
making the second ghost image. Their programs are sound; .....like hell.
Still cannot get close/cancel buttons on the Window (win2000 machine /
identical app on the otherwin98 machine is fine). So have to run
ctrl+alt+del to close this data distribution / database manager. Also
believe (?), the same app, when opened (and closed) leaves TS4 with error
messages as illedgible little boxes.
