Hi there, I've just re-installed Vista Ultimate SP2 and used Retail Key from a friend to activate. It works smoothly now. My question is : Does anyone know where and what kind of files do I need to back up in case of the future re-installation. I mean I will not need retail key to activate it again. Thanks for all your info and help.
.... if you just installed vista sp2 you dont need to backup anything.. unless you want to ghost your windows... use acronise trueimage..
@ blackranger & tcntad thanks for your info. I used Ghost & True Image. as I read Windows 7 with retail key only needs to back up 2 files: pkeyconfig.xrm-ms & tokens.dat How about Windows Vista ? Is that the same ? That's all what i need to know.
@ blackranger Thanks for your link. I already read and followed the instruction .... I backed up. @ urie Thanks for your hint. But 2 files : pkeyconfig.xrm-ms & tokens.dat in Windows 7 is in different directory with Windows Vista. By the way, One more question: Do you guys know the instruction how to put these two files in DVD in order that It activates automatically ( Silent activation ) instead of doing manually as I re-install Windows again ? Thanks in advance
