Welcome, you have made the right choice, first there are a few talented people on this site who are more than willing to help and the second choice you made right also is to be not afraid to ask questions.
And don't forget to post pic's, I use VSO image resizer to bring the pic's to a reasonable size or you can use use photo bucket or similar.
Hi Dave. I downloaded the net imaging they recommedned in the newbie welcome thread. I cannot get the pics from the net imaging to the post after I have shrunk them. Once I get around that I will put up the pics. I will check out the vso and see if that is more compatible with my limited computer skills. This is my first restore and I am glad I found this site where others have been where I am going. It helps immensly to have the proper information and can save a lot of headaches now and down the road.
