Hi,

After the lot of you offered me a finger by ansvering my server related questions, which I am rly thanksfull, I plan to grab your arm and pull...joke.

But I do have another question, which I hope is an eazy one.

I have about 10 same computers and I would like to install windows xp on them as fast as possible.

I only have one cd, and formatting every computer could take days. I've heard that it's possible to create a disc from which you boot the computers and install the same windows image on all of them.

Could someone give me more info or a link to how it's done please? as it turns out Google is not almighty! *jet*

Thanks

Norton Ghost does exactly what you want.

CloneZilla does the job too.
And it's free and OSI.

Huh? I think it is illegal.

You need to provide a different key for each Windows that you install.
Are you sure you are allowed to do such a brute copy?

If he has a business license he may only have 1 CD, and he only gets 1 code. That's the advantage of a business license, easy administration

Of course, he may not have a business license
