XP INFO

"Without opening a can of worms - I think its ridiculous for sytems to come with 'OEM' operating systems which do not provide for an easy method of restoring in the case of a hard drive failure. A few bad sectors in the wrong place and bye-bye OS." That is where a drive image comes in handy. I made a drive image of my original OEM install and when the drive failed I was able to install the drive image on a non-OEM drive. You should only have to install SP4 once. After that Windows Update should provide the right files. If you slipstream SP4 with a 2000 CD it only installs once.
