Hi,
I have been thinking about drive imaging software to use for backup, but I
am concerned about the ability to restore an image after a hardware failure.
If I create an image with say Norton Ghost, then have a motherboard failure,
and have to replace it, if I then try to restore the image, am I right in
thinking Windows will need to be reactivated? Then if I am using an OEM
version, the licence would not cover me for a new motherboard? If so, I then
have an image that I cannot use unless I can get hold of a motherboard of the
exact same make & model.
I hope that is not too confusing - I think I may be a little confused here
myself, which doesn't help.
Thanks very much in advance.
