Hi there,
I would like to automate the process of copying a complete WinNT 4.0 workstation installation to another HDD. This HDD will then be used in the same computer. Is there any way to format a HDD to the NTFS filesystem like with the "format" command (from Win95/98 r dos) without having to install Win NT? IŽd prefer doing so with somekind of bootdisk. It would really be great if someone could help me out here, cause it would save me several hours of time installing all my software again.
Maybe you could also tell me how to backup and restore the registry?
Thank you all very much in advance for your answers - I hope I can help you out sometime!
Yours Frank
