i keep trying to look it up but couldn't find any thing... but any way's, my question is, how can i save my windows XP after i have installed it on my computer and have installed other programs and what not and then be able to save it as an ISO or bootable disk for later installation's?

if i was to just install windows and then install programs like maybe yahoo messenger, and then adobe flash player, is there a way i can literally save every change and installed program i made to the OS and make it as a bootable ISO or CD/DVD, and then, when i reformat my computer and have every thing i just did to it be installed?

i hope you understand what i'm saying.....

Thanks in advance

Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image

ok, thanks

Please differ between Installation and Backup.

You can`t save your installed XP to an Installation-Disc, you can BackUp this Install.

Tools were mentioned by "-X-".

To install with all your wanted programs and settings you need to read and learn

through all this forum - it`s possible, like I do.
