A little precision about Windows 7

Hi all,

with carefully reading the posts and following tutorials, i made a perfect setup
to handle my PC needs.

partition 1 : XP/Windows 7 in two snapshots i boot as needed to change windows os

Paritition 2: Data to share and backup with syncbackpro

Partition(s) ahead : Ubuntu 10.4

External USB drive : Ceedo/PortableApps to keep my system clean and keep programs settings through install/reinstall/format....

Paragon backup to handle partition backup.

Bullet proof !!!!

I have still a question : I did the use the Bootsect_x86.exe file prior to install FD-ISR on the windows 7 snapshot.

What about its use if i need to
1) reinstall from partition image (i thnks it's useless but..)
2) reinstall from archive of FD-ISR

In other words, once Windows 7 snapshot completed, in which situation may i use Bootsect_x86.exe again?

Thanks for input.

If you create an empty snapshot and install W7 in it then you'll have to use the Bootsect_x86.exe again before your able to install FD ISR in it. Otherwise, if your simply updating an existing snapshot then Bootsect_x86.exe not necessary.

Also if i understand you correctly, your looking to install Linux in an empty snapshot? I think you'll find that this wont work with FD because FD is not a Linux program so you wont be able to install it in order to access your Windows snapshots. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge in this area can give you a more detailed reason.

 

I think he is going to put Linux into its own partition in which case he could use the Paragon for backup since Paragon works with the EXT4 format.

Hi,

@Carfal : thanks for the answer, save me test time (won't reinstall now).
I think if i *do* must reinstall, i'll make an XP snapshot first, then reinstall seven in empty snapshot from one of the archives which do have the
Bootsect_x86.exe applied in it.

@Acadia : yes, you got my mind from my sometimes low english skills. Ubuntu 10.4 will be on the 3 others partitions and Paragon will handle them.

Thanks for answering.
