I still don't understand this -- so what was on the disk? The files to
install the programs you wanted?

I could understand, with GHOST being able to recover files from within
the image, that you could be able to extract the files needed to
install the applications but is that what l'ecus wants to do -- and why
bother to do it this way?

What I was saying before was that if he was making an image of
installed applications then restoring those to the new VISTA drive
would not write their information to the registry etc.
