Thanks for the extra tips
pl say the fix for exclamation in xp machine
jraju:
HI, please say, can i use p.e 3-1 for windows 7 also. samson please also tell where i could write comments as in your fig. i am using the sameversion . I just ignored the updates, when alerted with your able guidance, i have taken the c: drive backup withrescue disk and also checked in the laptop. i just exited once i saw the backup file and restore option menu.
Samson:
Yes PE 3.1 is fine for Win7 and XP. If your Win 7 machine does not have the option to boot from USB, then create the rescue media on CD.
You can add comments during the backup process you will see "advanced Options" in the bottom left hand corner of the window as you go through the back up process.
You do not have the same version as me, mine is 5.3 build 7299
Don't worry about the exclamation. It simply means that the rescue media does not have the driver for your wireless NIC, you don't need it for the backup/ restore process, so ignore it. it is fine.
Remember to back up the data in other partions on the drive or do a backup selecting the whole drive/ all partitions.

You are the first person that I have known to get "excited" by backing up, that is a good thing :smiley:
Edit: My bad, I misread "exited" for "excited" :rolleyes:
I did n't think anyone would get excited by backing up :wink:
jraju:
Is there any provision to treat the pendrive as hard disk in older machines?
Samson:
Not sure what you mean?
If there is no option in the BIOS to boot from USB, then create the rescue media on CD/ DVD. It takes a bit longer to load up but works just fine.
