Phoenix first ware recovery pro 2004
Has anybody heard or used the above-named software? I recently bought my daughter , a new laptop computer . it's a refurbished averatech here is the link.
http://www.refurbdepot.com/productde...roduct_ID=3844. The edition of this software that came installed on her computer is somewhat disabled , it is a trial version . it gives you the opportunity to register online , but each time I've tried to register online . No web page comes up. This disabled version will not allow you full backups to CDs or to a separate partition on your hard drive. It does partition the hard drive and backs up files to that partition. Windows does not see that partition , and I suppose that means they feel it's safe. I called their technical support line and was told that not providing backup CDs is the new standard , and I was warranted , should I have any trouble.I can see that if something really goes wrong with this computer . it will have to be sent in, so that they can reinstall Windows
I went ahead and bought the software , but it won't let me install it until I uninstall the currently running version. The full version allows backups to iso files. I guess I'm chicken . everything is running well . I don't have a backup disk of windows that would be legal to put on this computer unless I shell out the dollars for it. It has a sticker with a number on the back . so there must be software that would be legal to put on this computer . I just don't have it.
any suggestions would be appreciated . I suppose it is not that big a deal if in the future I have to buy another edition of windows . in order fix this computer , but it doesn't seem right.
