It is far easier and more efficient to make an image of your OS partition with Acronis or Drive Image and to restore your drive with this back-up image when necessary.This is a quite fast and reliable method of restore and also protects and preserves settings,connections,and any installed programs.Further benefits can also be gained by saving an image of a "virgin install" and using it to "start fresh" if need be,as this is much faster than normal OS installs.I highly recommend use of these imaging methods for ALL computer owners and users.Making images of other partitions and data is also a very useful tool for complete backup and safety of your computer.You can save these image files on DVD,an external drive,on other drives or all for multiple backup with ease.Imaging as such will save you many hours and bring your systems back in a flash...Be sure to make an Bootable Recovery Disk and keep this in safe storage with your image disks.

Just a few notes:

setup.exe - Only works within Windows. I formated my hard drive when I first installed WinXP, booted from a floppy disk, only to discover the setup program would not run from DOS. I had to reinstall WinME, set everything up again, go online to find out how to install for a clean hard drive (my computer at the time couldn't boot of a CDROM either)

winnt32.exe - This is for a MSDOS or command prompt within Windows.

winnt.exe - If you can't boot of a CD, and formated your hard drive, hopefully you can boot of a floppy, this is the one to start the install.

Leo, when I first installed XP I copied the Xp disk to my hard drive to C:\XP. This has saved me a coulple of times. A set of boot disk is also helpful if you cannot dind your original Cd
