How to re-build your PC in less than 2 hours

 

Pre-requisites:

• Your data is on D:, the OS on C:
• Your backup is done (nothing to do because you have an automatic full C+D-drive incremental back-up scheduled to run every day )
• Your CD case with all legally acquired original CDs for software and drivers
• Access to the spreadsheet where you carefully store all serials for the above.

Go:

1. Boot from DVD
2. Format C:.
3. Click Next, OK, next, Ok, I agree, OK, Next, London GMT
4. Install your favourite software. For me it is:
1. Microsoft Security Essentials
2. Slysoft Virtual Clone Drive
3. Office
4. Chrome, Firefox
5. Set-up backup with Mozy
5. Check the time: if it took you more than 2 hours, start all over again.
