Un-making a mess ... I create an image of my disk using PowerQuest Drive Image software. Typically, it takes three minutes to make an image and eight minutes to restore the disk from a previous image. Since I'm 'computer adventuresome', I turn my system to crap quite frequently: I can get my stable system back quicker than I can gulp a coffee. My bacon's been saved so often by this package I couldn't imagine computing without this safety net. This package's small enough to fit on a regular 3.5 floppy for those really bad messes. I store my images on a separate partition and also maintain a Iomega Zip disk set just in case the 'big one' hits. I use 'high compression' and can get by with only two Zips. I tout this product on this thread quite a bit. I don't own or work for PowerQuest, but am simply thankful for the time, effort, and frustration their products have spared me. Cheers, PW. P.S. ...spent most of week in ... reinstall ... With practice, this can be done in a day. And an incredibly long, arduous, frustrating, stressful day it is too. (Provided you have all the files you need available -- otherwise it's worse!)
