| 528489 | 2007-03-01 05:50:00 | Does System Restore only affect the OS (WinXP)? In other words, if BIOS changes are made, will System Restore detect this and back it up? The BIOS settings have NOTHING to do with system restore or vice-versa. The BIOS is hardware based (part of the mobo), not software. Whatever you change in the BIOS doesnt affect system restore. As both dont have anything to do with each other. If u want to set the default settings in the BIOS, there's an option in the BIOS for this. And if you accidentally screw the BIOS up (ie by flashing it), you wont get into Windows to do anything. Until u replace the BIOS chip. The only way a BIOS could be backed up is if u had something like a Gigabyte mobo, coz some of their mobos have 2 BIOS chips. In case one gets destroyed somehow. |

| 528490 | 2007-03-01 05:51:00 | Just figured out why Acronis would not make a new drive image. Its because I disabled several items in msconfig - including the Acronis Scheduler - and have not enabled them again. |
