The safest way to restore your drive is to install Windows. After your Windows setup is complete you can install GRBakPro and then run your restore. Another solution is to employ the WinPE DVD (Windows Pre-installation Environment). This is a bootable system DVD that lets you see your current NTFS and FAT hard disk drives content and run some system check utilities on them. This can be a solution if your system is only corrupted (i.e., you do not have an hardware failure) or if you simply want to restore all your files to your new hard disk drive or if you want to restore an older version of your registry.
