Well, I was planning on using G4L, but yeah. that was the idea, assuming they are all identical. I've sent the potential customer an email asking for additional details such as if they are identical machines, whether he's got a restore disk, whether he's got driver disks, install media, licensing keys, etc.

I have a potential customer with 7 laptops he wants rebuilt. Here's what he wants: 1 Format Hard Drive [can be done at the same time as #2] 2 Install Win Xp with Service Pack 2 3 Microsoft Office Package [already advised he needs to provide install media and keys] 4 AVG Virus Software (Free Lifetime Updates) 5 Adobe Acrobat (Not sure if he wants Acrobat [non-free] or Adobe Reader [free]) 6 Laptop Cleaning of the keyboard, screen and other case. 7 Diagnostics of the entire system after to check hard, cdsrom, floppy, etc. I figure I can install Windows, Adobe Reader (unless he wants full acrobat, in which case for licensing purposes, I'll have to install it on each one separately) and such then create an image of the hard drive and install that image on the rest. I don't want to overcharge, but I don't want to short-change myself either. My thought was about 2 hours per laptop if I image it, maybe 3 hours if I have to install on each one individually. How long would you expect it would take (actual "hands on the keyboard" time) to do this? John-AldrichTile-Tools No virus found in this incoming message.
