After restoring I can't log in

Hi. I am running XP-Pro on a Dell 8600 laptop. The Dell has a Hitachi 60gb drive. I own 2 identical 60gb drives. Using ShadowDesktop 3.2, I took an image of my 60gb.

Re: Recovery Problem Dual-Boot XP-Vista

transferring programs and files to new computer?

If I'm currently running XP and have a complete backup of my entire hard drive, and now I upgrade to a new computer running Vista, can I use my SP backup to install all of my old programs and files to the new computer without messing up the operating system?

Can't restore using HIR NO MATTER WHAT!

I just bought ShadowProtect desktop to move my main system drive (Win XP SP2 on 500GB SATA) to a new 1TB Seagate drive. I've backed up several times (l-o-n-g process - 2 hours), and restored to the 1TB drive multiple times (1.5 hours). In all cases, although the new drive has all the data, it WILL...

Hi, I am an TI user and I am actually testing Shadow Protect because I find TI too slow for taking snapshots. I restore an image created by TI using the boot CD that TI has created for me.
