Hi all im new to your forum looks like a nicely well laid out site, Right i would like to rip my current copy of XP Pro and get all the rubbish off of it that i really don't need then have it let me select all of my apps (which i have already ripped off the Disks onto my PC) which i wish to install, what i have done so far is created a folder on my hdd called xp and dragged all the contents of my XP Pro CD into that folder and i have also dl all my drivers for my mobo and gfx card and also my soundcard, but i was just wondering how is the best way to do this and what apps you think i should use and also if you could walk me through the basics on how to use the apps that you advise me to use and also once i make my copy my friend whats me to make him a copy using his copy of MCE 2005, Hope you can help me and i thank all that can in advance, Thanks, Vel P.S. if you need anymore info you can either reply to this post asking me or ask me on msn at bensc14@gmail.com Thanks Again, Vel
