Re: System Restore

The Norton Ghost images must be contains the restore point’s file. How the named those files that are belong to Restore point? How Can I recognize them?

If I check another partition, I suppose that belong this partition but not the system partition. Please correct me if I wrong.

Re: System Restore

Nipo,

The Vista System Restore Points and Norton Ghost images are completely different. You will need to go to Norton's website to see how that program works.

This is a link to download the manuals from Norton. Just select your program and version.

Home & Home Office - Symantec Corp.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: System Restore

Norton Ghost images contains it's own restore images created by the Norton program and not the Vista System Restore Points created by Vista.

Re: System Restore

I agree. The point of my mind is that I'll be able to restore Restore point to original places.

TAKE CONTROL OF SYSTEM RESTORE:

Here's a tip some of you might like to try:

1. Turn off System restore as described by Brink.

2. Go into services and ensure Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Shadow Copy are both set to manual and start them ( right click on each service to bring up the options to do this .)

3. Create a restore point ( control panel>system>advanced system settings>system protection,check the boxes for the drives you want to create a restore point for and click apply.)

4. Go back to services and stop and disable Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Shadow Copy.

5. This restore point will always be there for you - just re-enable and restart Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Shadow Copy before restoring.

6. You can repeat this as often as you like so you always have the restore point(s) that you want, without having System Restore running in the background using up resources.

Let me know if this is any use to you
