Hello All, I was given a Windows XP Pro bootup hard disk for verification of its first installation date. What information I can verify when the hard disk was first installed? Secondly, if the OS was cloned and reproduced from another source, how can I verify that? Other than Norton Ghost, what other tools could be used for duplicating the hard disk? Besides, if I got a hard disk how can I verify what software (for cloning) it has been used? In a Windows XP platform, what is the use of Windows XP RestorePoint? What information I can collect from the RestorePoint? Is that related to backup information? Thanks. Ricci
