I had a PC problem last night and Windows would not load. I was able to get on the Internet and active in digital modes within a few short minutes by booting a CD that contained Fldigi via Linux. This simple way of getting on the air when a HD crashes of Windows fails made me wonder if there

I also would be interested as to booting windoze from a memory stick like a live cd of Linux. It takes so long for me to re install everything should I have a system wide crash. Just to get back back onto win XP pro I have to load XP home first and then all of XP Pro. With that and all the

Products such as Image for Windows/Image for Linux will let you create an image of your disk on CD/DVD/Network Drive. If your drive crashes or just gets really trashed with a virus you can do a bare metal restore to a new drive. No reinstallation needed for Windows, Linux, or any of your

Actually, I find recovering from a crash with a bare install to be beneficial. It gets rid of all the junk that builds up over a year or so. One thing that helps is I copy all install CDs to a hard drive. (Actually they are in a version control system - Subversion - if you know what one of

Don't get me wrong, I agree that it can be quite refreshing to have a default factory system. But For example I was doing a re-install on Xmas eve last year and that was a pain. An imaging program to back up to a flash drive or external hard disk like the other chap said. Looks like the way to

Thanks Tim, All good Info. I have a 200GB hard disk on this machine, but most of that is music and videos, also it is divided, so I guess I could make an image of the main partition. I may well give it a go. Thanks for the advise and info guys. Toby. ---Original Message---

If you use an image backup product like Norton Ghost or StorageCraft ShadowProtect, you can construct such a CD or DVD yourself. You can make a snapshot with all of your applications installed and configured, allowing a rapid recovery in the event of a catastrophic failures. I started with
