Hi guys,

Any of you know of software that will allow me to create a bootable clone of an XP disk (on 2-3 DVDs) so that I can pass it onto a third party and they can install the OS with a few clicks. Its OEM software going onto identical hardware and its all perfectly legal. I want an alternative to Symantec Ghost - preferably something easy to work with and that is time efficient.

Thanks a mil.

If it's just the OS do an unattended installation disk/s

Otherwise use one of the abovementioned tools ^^
 
Thanks a lot, I'll have a good look see and report back.

Gary keeps this in his clipboard :p
 
when you image a PC with ghost or any other software like ghost, you copy the SID of the PC you clone, and that SID is used on all the other PC's that you clone 2....just something to bear in mind.

with the automatted install, a new SID is generated within the install.
