Wouldn't it be more prudent in the long run to make sure the repair-environment
builtin to windows and your install disk knows about the new HW?

I've had problems relying on 3rd party tools that I had trouble getting
to work some number of years later.

I'm able to backup the machine with the ms-backup tools, (crappy though they are),
and have those tools create an image backup every week.

I don't keep "data" on my winbox.  just on my linux box.
I try to only put programs on the winbox as I haven't found windows
to be very reliable over the long term.

Had system restore wipe files more than once....no fun.
