DriveImage difficulty

[steve2000x]

I want to use DriveImage to return c drive to pristine state without reformat.

But the problem is you need to use BartPE which needs slipstreamed xp with sp2.

But I can't make slipstream xp apparently 'cuz my xp is oem (I guess, bought it from newegg years ago with mother board).

Is there some way around this and still use DriveImage ?

use SystemRescueCD, instead.
it's freeware too and boots from its own CD.

here's a guide:

I have XP OEM and slipstreamed no problem.
