Just get something like Deep Freeze instead. http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp
Someone linked it here, I've tried it.. incredible stuff. You can let people bork the boxes up as much as they want, reboot it and *wham* it's right back the way it was before. Saves you a hell of a lot of time. Otherwise, I'd recommend Acronis if this is for some other purpose. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mesdaq, Ali Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 6:51 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] PC for Gaming Center Now for hard drives is the 10k rpm sata drives the best? Also what would you guys suggest for reimagining software. I would imagine reimaging these machines atleast once in the morning and possibly twice a day depending on performance and stuff. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington (S) Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 4:39 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] PC for Gaming Center At 07:17 PM 09/03/2006, Anthony Q.
