I'm wondering if I place my Program Files into a 2nd drive as a back up, incase of a crash, could I reuse the backed up Program Files? Is there anyway to copy the registry so I can reuse them?

Thank you for all your help, I also asked this in the "Storage" part of the forum.

more to it than that if it would ever work ,the registry is one thing ,there is the system/system32,and folder and all the different shared dll files programs use when installing and all the other crap that would happen ,i don't think it can be done myself .

=(
Doesn't Nortan Have some kind of back up for Program Files? Just wondering, thanks CaperJack.

yeah,norton ghost ,you make image of the drive with windows on it,using the ghost program you make the image onto the other hard drive , and just install that the next time windows screws up,
