Hi guys,

This might sound as a noob questions for some of you but I've never done this before and maybe you could help me.

I'm wondering if there is a program or a feature or something that would let me install a fresh copy of windows vista x64, and then install all the drivers and applications I need and after that to do some sort of back-up or something that would let me install it at a later time with all the drivers and software I need.

I mean after a format, to just plug in that new "back-up" and after installation to have windows vista and all the drivers and software I need installed without having to reinstall them manually after installing windows..

Is there such a thing?

Thanks in advance for your help and support!

Best regards,
DH
 
Uhmm, slipstreaming windows installation disk with additional applications... I think vLite is the answer? I'm not sure but slipstreaming stuff on a new install disk, meaning making a copy of the original disk and modifying its contents to add wanted softwares.

Edit: ^ He beat me to it. hehe :toast:

I i choose to use windows restore, if my windows craks...will I be able to bring it to it's initial state?
 
Depends on the restor point - Windows restore will will bring your windows to the state it was when the restor point was made. Vista Business/Ultimat has back up utilities, but I never used them.
 
Nero let's you do some slipstreaming to add wanted software, IIRC most burning software would let you make your own bootable and slipstreamed os installer. But I don't really know how to do it, heh, I just install os and install stuff manually. :D
