RR formatting C:\

#1 Post by Marin85 » Mon Jun 11, 2007 4:29 pm

Hi,
after having different problems with my laptop I decided to use RR work area to format C:\ and reinstall XP. I´ve already made a copy of my system with RR, so I was wondering if I could restore my applications afterwards?...or RR or any system backups would be also deleted after formatting C:\ ?

when you reformat using RR there are several options to choose from, I think one is restore with the option you are looking for.
Start the process and see, you don't necessarily have to reinstall once you boot into RR but you will see all the different choices.
