Hello,
You know how all the "name Brand" computers have the
Install disks that have OS and all the programs and
drivers configured for a fresh install...Is there a way
to create one??
I mean once I have my system setup and configured exactly
the way i want it..ie, OS , drivers, Programs, is there a
way to make a CD or CD's that is bootable that will
completely reinstall everything exactly the same way?..I
know i can just Ghost it to another drive..But i would
like to know if i can do it this way as well.

Thanks in advance

John

Thier's two ways xp can do most/all of it,run the File-Transfer-Wizard,
set computer as old,run the data to anew folder you create (on desktop),
then transfer data to a cd.It'll save all youre documents and settings,no
system files however.You can also copy youre hd to a new hd (ghost),by
running XCOPY,set newly formatted drive as slave,then go to run,type:
XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r D: being the slave,however any letter would
do if diffrent on slave than D:.

There is no easy way other than creating an image
of the drive using a third-party program such as Ghost.
