allright.

1)i take and remove all hardware in safemode

2)burn the HDD image to a CD(or 2)

Problem is i dont have any image programs.

Does anyone know of any free ones?

You have windows 98, 98SE or ME?

Then you can boot up with a DOS floppy disk and run the DOS version of Ghost.

Originally written by GhostSoft, Inc. and purchased by Symantec.

I use Ghost 2003 all the time to make my own Ghost images.

I run it from a boot FD with my own Cleanup batch file which runs first to clean up the HD and delete the Windows Swap file before Ghost loads and runs.

I save the image files to either my second HD or to the second partition on my SATA main drive (much faster by 10x).

Later, at my convenience, I copy the Image file(s) to a DVD for permanent storage.

You should be able to find Ghost 2003 somewhere on the internet for download.

I got my own copy FREE on a Driver disk that came with a new motherboard.

Good Luck,
