| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Restore Complete Computer Thanks! Is there an option when going from a 250GB drive to a 500GB drive to include the newfound disk space into the original partition? Or must that be done afterwards? |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Restore Complete Computer The Complete PC Backup Image can be saved to any drive other than the C: drive or partition. When you boot from the Vista installation disc to the System Recovery Options screen, you can then use System Restore to restore that backup image from that saved location (ex: external drive) to any other drive (ex: new hard drive). So yes you can.  |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Restore Complete Computer Hello Geo, Yes, you could from their disc if it's also a Vista Ultimate installation disc. Another option for you is to boot into the Advanced Boot Options screen and select the Repair your computer option. From there, you would go into the System Recovery Options where you can select the Windows Complete PC Restore option to restore the backup. Hope this helps, Shawn |
