Customized recovery disk

[rw120555]

I'm getting a new computer. Once I have a minimal setup, I'd like to create my own recovery disk, so if I ever need to reinstall I can at least get back to the basics without too much trouble. What is the best way to do this?

System is Win98. I have EasyCD 5.0, so I think the Take two program is one option. I also have the version of Ghost that came with Systemworks 2000.

Ideally, there would be a bootable cd, but a CD + boot disk is also ok if necessary (just have to not lose the boot disk.)

Thanks. RW

Ghost works out pretty well. You can also use CDRWin to backup your disk over CDs which could be good too... i've never used it though and don't know anything about the recovery process.

Use Ghost. It is easy to use, will make a bootable Cd image, and if the contents of the image is too large for one CD, it will create the image spanning several CDs.
