    I would like to configure my xp cd so i don't have to state my regional settings or that i do always accept the terms. Just want to insert the cd,say where i want it and then not worry about any of the other questions it asks during an install.

    Thanks

    Backup wpa.dbl - this should stop you having to re activate if reinstalling on the same HW. - support.microsoft.com/ default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q305356

    Also use nlite for an untanded setup! You can remove stuff you dont want and add other stuff to your setup as well! It's a very very good program!

    Don't forget that license for Ghost means you need to pay extra for every PC you clone an image to. Partimage and g4u are two of the free alternatives. There are other lower priced commercial alternatives to Ghost too.
