Windows 7 / Vista file lock?
Hi. I have been XP user of my PC (only me using this PC) with admin.
privileges. I have always used two similar installations (one on C:\ and no. two on E:\ (then with the biggest partition in the middle as D:\ for my 'Desktop', 'Favourites', 'Document' and backup)). This has been a very good way for me to always have a total failure free installation to work on (I can delete the installation files on the other installation and just copy back from the backup whilst I work with whatever. And updates is fast to handle). Now, as I do think of going over to Windows 7, how easy is it to doing the same there? (or does Windows 7 /Vista have so much security locks on the files that it's impossible?) And if it's not possible to do it 'my old way' how can I solve this to be done pretty much the old way (is there an image program which can handle such operation- which also handle the root/start-up files?)? Thanks, JohS |
