Hi,
OK, here's my deal. My girlfriend wants to use windoze, yes it has
already died from a bug and it took a while to get it all back to
working, again. This is what I want to do to make it easy when this
happens again, this is windoze so it will happen, likely sooner rather
than later too.
I want to be able to back her drive up to a CD, the whole thing even if
it takes a few CDs. When it dies again, I want to be able to put in the
first CD and it boot and reinstall everything from there with little
interaction from me.
Is there such a creature? Please tell me it is free. I'm used to Linux
remember.
I can't believe I let her spend almost $200.00 on that crappie OS. <

I just have to keep working on this area.
Thanks

There is g4l (Ghost For Linux), it is still under work I believe, but
it is a great tool, if you never used Ghost (from Symantec) then
you're not familiar with Windows (lol). It can backup your
disk/partitions and create image files that can be restored later. It
has good compression and I have an image for each Windows Machine here
at work. A whole install with Office and everything goes about 3 CDs.
