CMF175 · 05-08-2008, 05:17 AM

its a new pc and its turned on i have that roxio restore from an old gateway pc can it off take of the disk and use it or is there something better out there ?

I've found Nero to be much better than Roxio. Roxio is horribly slow and bloated.

Nero huh im gonna have to get that then i should be able to turn off the other system restore

I'm thinking you want something like Windows System Restore, but you don't want to use the one with Windows, correct? (Your being very confusing)

As far as I know, there is nothing else out there that is like it. Just reglar backup software.

that is correct
