Default Re: Hard drive backup Question

The best way to do this is backup your entire C drive. Then reformat.

You sound a bit confused though. You will not be able to "transfer" back your programs. You will need to re-install all the software on your computer after reformatting it. Then once all your programs are re-installed you will need to pick through your backup and find the files you want to bring back in manually.

It doesn't work whatsoever to just backup your c drive, install a new OS, and then copy your backup back onto your c drive.
