Ah no you miss-understand me , i have made a ghost image of my desktop pc which is all working fine ,but i never made a ghost image of my laptop hardrive. When i pluged in my external harddrive to my laptop to go and make a backup it did not want to know my external drive. So i took the risk of formating thinking to myself ,i have not changed anything on my laptop so hoster should just go back in fine. oh no no no ,i thought wrong same problem as my desktop pc used to get ,thinks i am trying to install on a different comp again (arrrr). Why does it always do this to me? Can you reset the reg for my laptop please? then i will back the drive up to dvd or something.
many many thanks nath.
