I have a couple of computers running Windows XP and they all have the same software installed on the same hardware. I would like to create one image, so that in case a user's computer dies I can just restore it with the image. That will save me time by not installing Windows all over again and all the software.
Also, every user has their own favorites, desktop etc. I would like to back that up too, so that after an image restoration I can restore their favorites, desktop etc.
Answer
First you want is to create an image of your entire harddrive. Here are some very popular software choices to do this:
- Acronis True Image
- Paragon Backup & Recovery 2010 Free Advanced
- Macrium Reflect Free
- Clonezilla
Next you want to make copies of each user profile. Windows XP has a utility for that. Using this utility is described at this site:
