GoBack was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: April 16, 2007 |
Goback 2.x was an amazing product. I tried installing Goback 3 and 4 on several Dell XP optiplexes over the last 2 years having to have to uninstall it due to blue screens.
On my multi-partition, multi-user Windows XP setup, "Fast user switching" could not be used with GoBack 3 or 4. When "fast user switching" was enabled--and used regularly--the GoBack history would become corrupted after a several weeks of operation; and thereafter, goback would abort any attempt to revert the drive--until the history was deleted and started clean. It took me a long time to discover that disabling "Fast user switching" stopped this corruption from happening. Now I am once again very happy with GoBack. 67.161.114.160 04:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] “GoBack to Zeeeerooooo!”
In case of a hard drive problem, when GoBack is installed, you will have simply no way to connect the hard drive to a different machine and load the data from it; Windows will not recognize the partition.
Norton should have renamed the software to something more appropriate, such as “there is no going back”, or “we have the best way to block you from going back to your data, and we are good at it”, or “GoBack to Zeeeerooooo!”.
In case of a bad sector, or a problem while trying to disable GoBack, your data is simply gone!
Then you can take Symantec to court for locking your data and providing no other alternative to retrieve it in case of a problem; good luck with “GoBack” :-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.205.240.95 (talk) 21:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] also replaces the partition table with a single partition
I don't see how you can replace the partition table with a partition. The partition table is just a list of offsets. Maybe it repartitions such that there is a single partition on the drive in which other partitions reside?
This software is so horrible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.179.217.154 (talk) 20:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Alternatives to GoBack
If there are reasonable alternatives to the use of GoBack on Windows Single-PC-Systems, I would be happy to read about them here. I heard a colleague speaking about a program named "Second Chance", but I couldn't find out about ist. So finally, does somebody know about Software similar to GoBack? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.62.1.33 (talk) 16:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
