<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 5241492, member: 26302"]Be careful on the restore. If you do this, and many do, you can run into problems if your new system versus old were not identical. Things such as wrong drivers for hardware, etc. A friend did this, and got the new system and transferred it and nothing worked. He could not even access the computer since display drivers were wrong. When I did this myself, (getting old and have people who work for me who do this for me now), I still wanted the original install files for operating systems, if only to ensure I CAN rebuild the OS and build from there if needed. If you only image the hard drive, what if the replacement system is not the same drivers?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
