Windows Image Back-up question
If I have an entire PC backup (windowsimagebackup) from Vista 32bit then use it while running a Vista 64bit will it change the 64 back to a 32? -- jyelland

Windows Image Back-up question
It will replace the contents of the hard drive with what is imaged in the
backup. For example if you dual boot both Windows 64 bit version and Windows 32 bit version and you create a full image backup, in either operating system, then use the recovery tools to restore a full image backup, you will restore both versions of Windows. A full image backup is like a snap shot of your hard drive. After a full restore, you will have exactly what you had when you created the image. If you are running Vista 64 bit, it will be replaced with whatever the image backup contains because it will be overwritten with the backed up image. "jyelland" wrote in message ...

Windows Image Back-up question
Well, there's not really a way to change an OS from 32 to 64 bit that I know
of. I think the only way to change 64 to 32, vice versa, is to go out and get a new copy of windows. Hope this helps. "jyelland" wrote in message ...
