I have a backup, but it's not very recent, meaning it has the whole
intall of XP and most programs, but probably lacks a few recently added
programs, or updates of (probably just firefox was updated).
I also have recent downloads that are not backed up, but I can retrieve
them by booting this drive to Puppy Linux
But what good is a backup, when I cant get the drive to run on the new
T43? That would be the same (worthless) setup of XP.
I fear what you're calling a "backup" is just a "copy"?
AIUI, Acronis True Image Home PC Backup and Recovery Plus and
Paragon Backup and Recovery 10 (and probably later) enable one to
install a backup into a computer with different hardware.
I bought both, intending to do that, but the occasion hasn't arisen
yet.

I have to comment, that although I use XP, and like it after getting rid
of a lot of annoyances, Windows 98 was a far superior OS. I have
transplanted W98 drives to completely different brands of computers with
little problem. Just add a few drivers, and I'd be set to go....
W98 and earlier had no protection against piracy. You did, of course,
remove the W98 from the machines you "transplanted" it from, didn't you
(-:?
I am wondering what would happen if I ran a reinstall from a CD, over
the top of what is already there....... ?????
(Or is that what you mean by a "repair install"?)
By the way, what is SLIC?
Southern Leadership Independent Conference?

The losses on both sides at Borodino [1812], 70 miles from Moscow, are the
equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing into an area of six square miles every five
minutes for the whole ten hours of the battle, killing or wounding everyone on
board. - Andrew Roberts on Napoleon, RT 2015/6/13-19
