Title: Creating a HD IMage for Later Use
Post by: Anonymous on November 02, 2002, 08:29:27 PM

Ok, i reformat my computer every month or so, and when i reformat it sucks to have ot relaod all my programs to get my computer to the way i like it....Is there any way i can create an image of my hard drive so when i reformat i can just load it and my programs will be installed and my settings will be the same? (my hd is partitioned into 2 parts, one half has my OS and my programs and the other has music, movies etc which i do not format...i only format the first half)
Thanks

You can use drive image which cost about 69.00 bucks or you can use Drive Imager XP which is freeware. ( if you are using XP)

you can download drive imagerXP from here.

Why on Earth do you format every few months? Ghost works well.
