Any experience with EaseUS PCTran?
Installation of the latest feature update on my laptop has failed too
many times to count. I have tried every troubleshooting step I could find to no avail. It looks like a clean install is all I can do. (I tried that already (with an image backup to undo it) and it installed correctly.) I've been reading about PCTrans and wonder if it might solve my problem. It is normally used to move everything to a new machine - not how I want to use it. Instead, I would use it to create an image file of my data files and installed apps, perform a clean install, and then use it to restore everything. Does this seem feasible? |

Wouldn't that scenario also restore the broken files, viruses, and other bad things, too? |

That is exactly what I used it for. It took me three tries to get the restore to work properly (documentation is pretty much non-existent), but I was able to restore all my programs and data. About the only work I had to do was to recreate desktop icons for some of the programs. Important: Have the PCTrans install file on the backup drive as you will have to install it to do the restore. Also save in a text file the registration data for PCTrans, so you can activate it. -dan z- -- Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. (Anonymous) |
