I outlined the complete process necessary (The one that I use anyway
that has never failed me yet) only a week or so ago so it'll all be in
the archives.

This can be a problem when writing to a CD unless you compress your
backup first. I use a batch file (Available from the archives) to backup
the necessary reg entries and then use plain old Winzip to compress my
complete The Bat! directory before putting it on CD. Make sure you have
all the necessary sub folders as well, including paths.
After a reformat and OS install, unzipping the backup from CD back to
it's original place on the Hard Drive leaves all the Read/Write
attributes intact. Double click on the .reg file and your Bat won't know
it's ever been moved.
CW> I will be using Nero 5 to write any backups.
I prefer Adaptec Direct CD so that I can just drag and drop onto a CDRW.
Nero should work fine.
If you can't find the relevant batch file in the archives, mail me and
I'll send it to you.
