Not Such Good News for Pirated Copies of XP

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

XP doesn't have a proper internal imaging program. You would have to use Norton "Ghost", or Power Quest "Drive Image", etc. I think that there are some free ones though.

You are right Final; if you make an image of Windows that does not work properly or is full of spyware, etc, then the image will restore them as well. That's why you should reinstall XP, make an image, install all of your programs (the safe ones), configure XP, and then image. That way, you can image a freshly installed copy of XP if you need it, and you can also restore XP with all of your programs if you are hit by a virus, etc.

Sounds like a good idea. May have to wait 2 weeks till next payday to get it. But, with 30gb free on the second drive, it should fit. Thanks!
