Hi,
Can someone help me with what all software's do I need to create a system builder image?
I am interested in creating a system which works like everyday DELL's/HP's/SONY's etc where the HDD has a partition with an activate image of the OS. The boot menu lets you boot from the HDD by default but if the system needs to be cleaned (restored to factory defaults) it is as simple as choosing a option in the boot menu which simply installs the OS (activated i.e. no frequent activations) which still keeping almost every file I created personally.
Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
FYI, I am trying to build my own system using Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit and would like to keep an activated image of my system that can restored anytime I need to start all over again.
EDIT: I am only interested in going back to when the image was created. Ocassionally I would like to update the image when major service packs are released and tested.
