    Hi Guys,

    Quick question, I reformat and re-install windows a couple of times a year as it really speeds up my machine and gets it running nice a smoothly after months of me loading crap up onto it.

    Reformatting and reinstalling Windows doesnt take me that long, it's re-installing all my programs that I use, removing the ones that i dont use, my user settings etc etc

    I am wondering, I have just after finished re-installing windows right now. After I install Office, uTorrent, Adobe etc etc is there any way I can create a bootable restore image that I can use next time I decide to reformat! It would save me so much time if there was a way that when it restores, all my programs are there too

    Any help much appreciated
    Cheers!!

    There is, and it depends on what system you have, and also it would be handy if you have an externel hard drive because the image would be huge.

    A couple of times a year? I'd look at the cause if you can? Why so often?
