| Ive been building a lot of computers latly and they are aimed at first time users. What i want to do is make a disater recovery system for them, when things go wrong just pop in the boot disc and then it will restore an image of windows that is hidden on there hard drive or on cd. Whats the best software solution for this task, but it needs to be faily automatic. thanks for any help guys |

Pretty hard to restore an image to a HD that is the same HD where the image is stored. Multiple partitions would probably work. Norton Ghost and Partition Magic are two of the more well known tools. What OS are you using? There's always System Restore?? ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |
