Ok here's what I got..I have a friend that has a laptop with windows 98. I am setting everything up as far as hardware, software, etc.

I want to be able to make a recovery cd for this person. Something exactly like the recovery cd's that the manufacturers make (compaq, hp, dell etc.) Where all someone has to do is put in the recovery cd and boot up. When completed they have their system back to normal (software that I added ,conifigurations all that). Something that won't confuse the average user.

I do have Norton Ghost. I read a little about this, but still seems unclear. Does anyone know how to do this step by step??? Any help is greatly appreciated.

step 1: make a ghost image of the harddrive that is less than 650MB

step 2: Create a batch file that will format the C drive, and afterwards extract the image to the harddrive (using the drive names of the CDROM drive

step 3: create a boot disk that will load CD drivers and at the end load the batch off the CD.

Step 4: open up CD writing software like EZ CD creator. In EZ CD creator goto file->new CD layout->Bootable CD. Insert the boot floppy and drop the files into the CD layout. Consult the documentation for doing this with different software like Nero.
