I used to use Norton Ghost on a floppy and save a copy of my C drive to another internal drive as a file. Then, if I encountered a problem, I just booted from floppy to ghost, and copied the file back.

But sadly the floppy no longer works for some reason, it just opens the ghost programme, but it wont run now...

Did you keep the ghost disk on the shelf next to your Derek Acorah dvd's? ....

If your now using Firefox browser a good addition to that is Ghostery.
It stops pop ups and trackers. Although some sites require these to work, Facebook is one. But you can set these to always allow for those sites
Tools--Add-ons--Browse all add-ons--search box "Ghostery"

Hope this helps

Well I finally found a download on Hirens website. (last page, read it all, and its right at the very bottom).

Downloaded it, copied to CD, and tried to boot from it == nuffink... Zilch. .. ... as a boot disc, it makes a good ashtray..

I opened the folder fingy and it just sez its a keyboard repair or something? Either way,, It ain't a boot disc....

What type of file was it, a .iso or .img file?

You will need to burn it as an image with your disc writing software not just copy the file \ files to a disc.

Sorry if I have stated the obvious!

Cheers Steve..

Two parts to the download, one is an ISO, the other one of those folders with a zip on the side? I copied both (using XP's own software) to CD .. Didn't work though.

When I opened the zipped folder it only contained a folder called keyboard patch, and a link to Hirens site..

CD is first boot location..

hi

The file you downloaded would have be a zip file of a bout 600mb. Extract the contents of that zip and then burn the iso to a cd.
