Hi all,
It looks as though I might have to wipe my hard disk (I think I have corrupted Windows) and reinstall all my programs. I do have full Norton Ghost backups but I think instead I'll just reinstall Windows afresh and install my other programs and necessary files on top.
Now with regard to reinstalling Actinic v.7, so that I can get back to exactly where I was with my site with all the orders present and correct, I was wondering if someone could hold my hand and take me through the correct procedure.
My current plan is to:
1) Do a site snapshot last thing before wiping disk.
2) Copy all the security keys in Housekeeping - Security.
3) Back up my complete Actinic v7 folder within Program Files, including Site1 and the Digital Download files within.
Upon wiping drive, will reinstalling Actinic from the CD-ROM and then importing the snapshot be sufficient to get back to where I was, or will there be other things to bear in mind? Should I replace the folders that Actinic v.7 reinstalls (for example BACKUP, Extensions, OCCUpgrade, Sites, SSLUpgrade) with the folders I have backed up in 3) above, or is that going to confuse matters? I have in the past had to make changes to some files in the OCCUpgrade folder etc., so I hope that I can replace the reinstalled folders with the backed-up ones.
Also, what do I do with the Housekeeping keys?!
Anyhow, if anyone can help give a blow by blow account of how I get back to precisely where I was, I should be very grateful.
