I have received a copy of Drive Copy 8 Personal Special Edition on the cover DVD of PCPro and installing it completely screws up my computer. I reboot as instructed and if then left to its own devices, XP Pro refuses to install and the thing goes into a loop whereby, having failed to boot, it reboots and then does it again and again . . . . .

If I interrupt this cycle and boot in Safe Mode, even when I run the programme, I can't get it to actually do anything. I can't move the cursor and tab doesn't help. The only thing I can do is un-install with the result that I can't do what I set out to do which is to clone my current 80GB C: drive in my laptop to an external 160GB drive which I then was intending to replace the 80GB drive with.

What is going wrong - is the install disc corrupted?

Something is wrong with the software copy you get. Try to download trial version of Drive Backup 8.51 and check if it causes the same problem. This could give you some clue where the problem comes from.
