I don't think so. My understanding is that a backup is just data and that any reinstall you've done was presumably already on a disk with windows there and just needing some TLC. A brand new disk will be empty and your backup will just be data, not OS. But I defer to better minds. Check out the PC tech thread for a more rigorous answer.

I have done reinstalls a few times though, so I have a copy on my backup drive (mybook) right?
