It takes me that long just to get to the right service pack level on the OS, and then I need to reinstall all of my application software and bring it back to the right maintenance level. You might look into Ghost or Acronis or whatever. I use Ghost, on a floppy. It's simple to use. If you keep your installed apps on the c partition and image that partition once in a while to another hard drive, you never have re-install again. It would take you 5-10 minutes to restore your OS and apps. That's from dead in the water to up and running where you were. I do OS and most app installs once on a computer. This one is over 2 years old, since I built the box. A new (different) motherboard is the only reason I have to do a reinstall. There's probably a way around that too, but it gets complicated and probably isn't time effective. --Vic |
