If you have all that stuff above ready to go (including Windows 7 SP1) on a USB drive it's not going to take much more than 2 hours and probably much less if my experience with the desktop and laptop I bought recently is anything to go by. Also the Windows firewall will be on by default, all you need to add to that is Microsoft Security Essentials which will download and install in 15 minutes easily. You don't need another software firewall. Or AV, for my money. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
