Re: What's a good 3rd party system restore program?

Ccleaner creates a .reg file, I believe.

Merging that back will put those entries back in - but it won't remove any additional entries.

Might help - depends on the problem.

The only way to restore the registry properly is to back up the Hives - then restore from the command prompt in WinRe.

I should make another partition your HD and store a Macrium image on there. If you get into real trouble - boot the Macrium cd and restore the image.

On my system, I have small o/s partitions - 25 to 30gb - making the Macrium image takes 5-6 mins . Restoring takes 10 mins - no big deal.

Worth trying system restore first, before restoring an image as it is a bit quicker - if we can get it to work.
