Creating image of XP install to make reinstall easier...

Zascar · 2008-07-01 20:47:55

I usually wipe my pc and reinstall every few months to keep my pc in top condition. I have 2 harddrives and the master is partitioned, so no need to backup bar a few small things. It takes me a good few hours to get all my settings and programs back to normal though. I want to use Norton Ghost or similar to create an image…

I usually wipe my pc and reinstall every few months to keep my pc in top condition. I have 2 harddrives and the master is partitioned, so no need to backup bar a few small things. It takes me a good few hours to get all my settings and programs back to normal though.

I want to use Norton Ghost or similar to create an image that I can simple flash back to get my pc back to its perfect state.

Anyone know how I can do this?

I just did a reinstall today. Currently my C drive is 8GB with most of what I need installed, few things missing but nothing major. I'd like to create an image store it on a differnt harddrive/partition and be able to easily flash it back whenever needed.

Is this doable?
