 Chance of working/destruction is random. High risk product. April 1, 2008
GoBack worked great for me (5 stars) on my Dell XPS laptop for 3 years.br /I removed the stock 60 gig drive, put in a 230 gig drive partitioned into 30 and 200 gigs. After installing goback, I got the "not bootable" error. This makes it a 0 star.br /br /Overall review: Great product when it works, but due to the risk of wiping out your system, 1 star (the minimum). Do not install, no not even think about trying this unless it is free and you have everything backed up first.br /br /I've tried all the solutions. br /* Reinstalled goback with Symantec AV uninstalled. Same failure.br /* Having a Dell, I went into the BIOS "Security" area called "CPU XD Support". This is "Execute Disable Bit Capability". Someone above mentioned the solution was to turn of this capability in the Dell bios, and everything was great for them after that. Didn't work for me.br /* Ctrl-Alt-G doesn't work when I can't even boot the HD.br /* Pulled HD out, replaced with good hard drive with GoBack on it. Everything is fine. Put "bad" drive in external case and plugged it in. Blue screen that said the problem was GoBack.sys or something like that. Tried booting with drive plugged in, same error. A physical connection to the drive jacked up my system.br /br /From what I can see, it is random if this program works for you or not. It has some issue to do with hard drives for me. It's great if it works, but if it doesn't you have to "go back" and use your windows boot disk to wipe and re-partition your hard drive, or use the UBCD (ultimate boot CD) and a bunch of work to see your data again (see earlier reviews for two methods of being able to see your drive data again after a goback destruction).
Piece Of S*t January 16, 2008
This software will become a nightmare for you one day when your computer won't boot check that problem online
 GoBack tip November 29, 2007

Have been using GoBack since it was sold by WildFiles, and that's a loooong time. It's saved me more times than I can count. If you're using it and then have to restore your OS, be aware that GoBack hooks itself into the MBR with its own version and your drive will then appear unrestorable. T'ain't so. Go find another computer and download the lastest version of UBCD4Win and burn it to a disk. Set your BIOS to boot from CD-ROM if it isn't already so set, insert UBCD4Win and look for the "Unhook GoBack" tool. Run it and then you'll be good to go with your restoration. You'll want to keep the UBCD4Win disk around anyhow - tons of good tools on it; you can be your own guru. I've been running GoBack for years on a PATA IDE RAID 0 setup; no problems.
BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH September 20, 2007
I recently purchased a new computer for my mom and asked my tech to install Go Back because my brother has been using it for years and loves it. I didn't know it is now a Symantec product or I would have thought twice.br /br /Well, do not install Go Back if you only have a SATA board as it require IDE. Some of the new computers have SATA only and Go Back caused the computer to crash (blue screen). You'd think you might be a message about incompatibility before a crash but NO. That's Symantec for you. It took him several hours to figure out what had happened. You actually have to make changes in your BIOS to use it with a SATA.br /br /So, no GO BACK for me. And for all your Symantec haters out there I'm with you, although I do have simple Norton Antivirus installed on my computer with none of the tentacles of Norton's other anti virus programs. Keep it simple, keep it safe.br /br /Glad some of you have made it through the shark infested waters with the product.
 Used it for years. August 27, 2007
I can't understand the problems people have had with GoBack. Can you imagine what would have happened when I messed around with my color schemes and everything on the desktop turned the same shade of green, even the Start bar, if I hadn't pressed Alt, F4 then turned the computer off and used GoBack to revert to before my dumb move? I always install software in a clean boot and highly recommend it. I just ordered a new copy of GoBack because it came preinstalled on my computer and I had to uninstall all Norton products before installing the System Works Upgrade. As a double-safety measure I also regularly set up Restore Points with Windows Restore. Yes, Norton products require special procedures but then they always work perfectly for me, alhough I sometimes have to iron out difficulties first.
