There's gotta be an easier way of restoring my computer

[TrueBlueLS]

Okay, here's the deal. Every once in awhile, there's always something that ends up slowing down my computer's performance. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some information on being able to make a restore cd (like the ones that come with retail computers... HP... Compaq...) for my computer. It'd make it lot easier than having to reinstall Windows ME, VIA 4-in-1s, video card drivers, etc.

It can be done pretty easily.

1) you need to get norton ghost or powerquest driveimage

2) make a "ghost" of a new fresh install with everything you want on it

3) burn it to cd, and make the cd bootable

whenever you feel like a good re-install, just boot off the cd, restore the image, and you're on your way in less than 30 minutes
