so it is a full back up of the OS that is on the LT?

well if so, it might be possable. but then again it may not be because the motherboard is dif, there for all the drivers would be wrong.....

yes, and i need to make that backup work on the desktop.. the backup on the tape drive is full backup he said, the way the tape drive software is, that it will format the drive and install fresh from the backup... but this is a backup of the lappy, so will it work on the desktop ?
