I posted that for after she gets the system fixed, and to use imaging to protect her from future bugs. Makes no sense to image the drive when its all full of bugs.

I run scans on my systems before I image, takes about 1 hour to do scans and clean up junk before I image my computers once a week. (notebook imaged every 2 weeks)

On the subject of a dying hard drive, I had my Dell notebooks dying hard drive imaged to a new hard drive, still enough life in the drive to save the data, the dying drive made horrible sounds, but the OS was perfectly stable. I used it for about 4 years after the dying hard drive was imaged to the new one with no problems, still have it today for experimentation. Its a Windows 2000 machine bought in 2001. My Lenovo replaced it back in 2007.
