Hi Dave..
Lately I have had some problems with my registry. I have a series of 5 Ghost images for my current boot partition, and the registry problem developed after the fourth image was made. SO that means it is Not in the fourth image, but when I restored the fourth image, without formatting, the problem remained. Same when I restored the earlier image, the third, it was still there. But when I reformatted the partition and then restored the fourth imager, the problem diappeared.
I emailed back and forth with MS and Symantic, and both said that they believed that to get rid of the registry problem you would have to reformat, BEFORE restoring a clean image.
Before this, I always believed that Reformatting was not required, but I never really had a serious registry problem before.
So, I take it you do not agree with this....please comment.
I did not find anything in the Ghost manual saying anything about this...that is whether or not reformatting is required before restoring an image..Do you know of anyplace this is discussed, or explained?
THanks.
