Dear jgt,
Thanks for your reply. Forgive me for my very basic understanding of computers. I would want to try the Norton Ghost option, as others are seemingly difficult for me to understand.
Yes the machine has an IDE drive with HTFS partition. The first step of booting with Win95/Win98 diskette is OK. How do we do the next step? from where do we run Norton Ghost?
Regards
Iqbal

Assuming for the moment that the system has an IDE hard drive, the simplest way is to add a second IDE drive, and use Norton Ghost to duplicate the drive, by booting from a DOS/Win95/Win98 diskette. Do not attempt to change the partition size, as this function of Ghost is not supported.
If you have a SCSI system, then you can use the same process if:
1 you have a DOS driver for the SCSI host adapter,
2 you have a disk with the same number of heads and sectors per track.
3 you know how to install a scsi disk
There are ways to do this using SCO unix, read the installation manual about adding a second hard drive, run mkdev hd, but skip the divvy section, and use "dd" to copy /dev/hd0a to /dev/hd1a
You could also purchase Microlite Edge from
Home of Microlite BackupEDGE / RecoverEDGE, and then use its backup and recovery features.

win32_delete_service
WIN32_DELETE_SERVICE(3) 1 WIN32_DELETE_SERVICE(3)
win32_delete_service - Deletes a service entry from the SCM database
SYNOPSIS
mixed win32_delete_service (string $servicename, [string $machine])
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to delete a service from the SCM database. Administrative privileges are required for this to succeed.
This function really just marks the service for deletion. If other processes (such as the Services Applet) are open, then the deletion
will be deferred until those applications are closed. If a service is marked for deletion, further attempts to delete it will fail, and
attempts to create a new service with that name will also fail.
PARAMETERS
o $servicename
- The short name of the service.
o $machine
- The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used.
RETURN VALUES
Returns WIN32_NO_ERROR on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A win32_delete_service(3) example
Deletes the dummyphp service.
<?php
win32_delete_service('dummyphp');
?>
