Recovery DVD(s)

[Spearhawk]

Hi,
Anyone know of a progam that lets you make a recovery DVD? Basicaly what I want is to be able to install windows, install all programs I use and then make a DVD(s) so that the next time I have to do a fresh install I won't have to bother going through installing all programs separately, I'll just pop in the DVD(s) and let it install everything I need.


Thanks in advance

Never messed with it my self but:

might be a good place to start to making unattended/custom installs of XP
or this site:

Good luck

Thanks, I'll look into it
I wonder if it works for Windows 2000 though.

Powerquest Drive Image 7.0 will work nicely for that........http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?ref=dsr&tabtype=rb&product%5Fcode=302699&pfp=external#moreinfo

I tried that like 2 weeks ago... backup was just fine, but trying to reload the image was impossible. I could never get by the splash screen in DOS. And from searching for a solution, i found that was a common problem.

You can do it with symantec ghost. Not sure when they added it but it will burn images direct to DVD now. haven't tried it but i expect it works pretty much like imaging to cd does. Symantec Ghost If you know anyone that has recently purchased a Biostar Motherboard see if you can borrow the utility cd. The biostar cd has a copy of the Ghostpe.exe on it. The most recent biostar cds have the ghost version with dvd writing support.

Was it the trial version or the full version ?
