| Hi Jackie,
|
| I agree doing a format is a big job, however, I have been having a look at
| the unattended set up, and I was able to completely re-format a machine
| without any sighted assistance.
|
| Normally I use Ghost to create an image of my system, but it was very cool
| to be able to do a format myself without any eyes around.  <Smile>.
|
| If anyone is interested in having a read about Windows XP Unattended
| Installation.

| All the best

| Hi Steve
|
| Oh yeah the old mute has cropped up once or twice.
|
| What I would say Steve is that you are extremely competent at doing 
updates
| etc, and that's commendable.  But not everyone has the knowledge nor
| confidence,.  I wouldn't, for example, restore my hard drive without my 
son
| being present to at least get us to the point where we can install JAWS.
| I'm not saying it can't be done without sight, I'm just saying that the
| degree of experience and confidence in this scenario matters a lot, and
| differs greatly among users.
