Hi,

I am getting a new PC next week, and as this will be my development machine,
I wish to take some preliminary, preventative action to protect me from the
vagaries of software and OS's.

It will have a 300Gb disk, so was thinking of
- partitioning the disk using XP's Computer Manager partition tool
- take an image copy of the installed OS (how would I do that)

Anyone have any other advice, suggestions that would be general good
housekeeping that might save me time and grief further down the line when I
get the inevitable system failures.

TIA

Bob
 
Hello,
As regards, Imaging.....once your OS, softwares , all their updates are
installed, scanning performed, MFT/Page file defragmented, do take an image
using Ghost 2003, saving it on an inactive partition/ & media.
Regards.
 
Welcome to the boards Ivanov, and thanks for that.

Of course, it would be nice to have a second "D" hard drive to
Ghost to in order protect yourself from a catastrophic "C"
drive failure. Perhaps two 200 GB hard drives instead of
one 300 GB drive...? Just an idea, for what it's worth.
