hi

i want to install xp with all drivers & appz then would like to make bootable image of C drive over DVD and use this dvd for future installations again and again?

what i want to do in short is...1 dvd with xp pro OS +drivers + few appz
so i can use this in future only either on desktop or laptop

i have laptop and desktop and sick of frequent formattings and installation of drivers,appz.

how to do this ?
is it possible with acronis true image or Norton ghost?
pls if possible provide me links of tutorial?

thanks

Use Acronis True Image 10.
It's pretty good than Norton Ghost 10.

Go for Acrionis True Image Home 10 . It's a very good and user friendly soft. I have ben using it for quite a some time and now i dare to tweak Windows without the fear of reinstalling windows everytime it gets damaged.i just format Drive C: and then resore from the backup created with Acronis True Image.
