Hi all, I'm looking for a way to install windows xp in a very specific way: I want to install XP and a bunch of apps the devs use, and ghost it in a way that a machine with a different config can be restored with this backup, update its drivers, and be operational. I was told by a member of nForce's forums that this, if anywhere, is the place to ask, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
