Hear, Hear!
Two months ago my boot disk on my PC failed, I opted to do a clean
install of Windows XP Pro on a new disk instead of a disk image backup
of the failed disk. Reason: the computer had become so slow to operate
that I was fretting. With a clean install, the computer now has a
rejuvenated life.
So, what's the problem? Took a week to install the most used programs.
Worse, some original disks application disks were gone missing, so I
will have to buy same. Most expensive, a $600 application, followed by
a $170 application, and more. If I had installed the backup image, I
think that all programs would have been available as before.
Just realized tonight that I haven't yet installed Microsoft Office --
been happily using the computer without it.
Question for this group: is there a way of installing a program from a
backup image (DriveImage, similar to Ghost image) onto a boot disk
without the original program disks?

I do but do you want to have to reinstall everything on your system?
In these days of key#s and stuff it takes a couple of months to
restore a system to what it was before when you have to reload stuff.
