    backup the registry

    Hello,

    I would like to know if there is a way to wipe clean the system drive (C), reinstall windows, and copy in the old registry, so that the guids & other systems ids point to the installed apps on the other drives (which weren't erased)?

    I haven't heard of any options besides ghosting, so any feedback is appreciated.

    Cheers,

    E

    Re: backup the registry

    Go to the registry and do export file to folder, format your drive reinstall everything and go back to registry and do import file that you previuosly created and this should rebuild your app connections.

    Go to Start \ Run | Type "Regedit" Press return

    Don't forget to rate !!!
