Some people even add drivers and utitlities to the slipstreamed CD. When you image a drive however, what you are doing is copying the whole drive bit by bit, by that I mean copying everything, even the locations of the files so when you use the CD on which you burned the image, to restore the system, the result would be an instant installed OS with all your favorite programs already installed and configured. All you have to do is use the system. It's different when you install the OS using the slipstreamed CD. You still have to install the OS + SP's + your applications. Then you will have configure Windows and your third-party software to customize them to your needs. IOW, a slipstreamed CD is just another installation CD with some updates, while an image CD is the whole shebang installed (in other words, it is a running OS, updated with Windows Updates that you installed previously, with installed softwares, waiting to be restored to its former glory).

Is it not to use to reload everything on to a crashed HDD? Since I just purchased Acronis TI and will have a cloned image of my HDD stored on a removeable medium I won't need the slipstreamed CD. Am I correct? I am planning to put my backup of my cloned HDD on to a external HDD. Is this desireable or is there some objectionable reason why this will not be good.

Just thought I'd share this. The following is just a small part of an article: ARTICLE: Repair Teams Try to Calm 'Computer Rage' By Ariana Eunjung Cha,, Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, May 1, 2005 "There's this frustration that you are really dependent on these things that you don't understand and that you have no idea how to fix," said Kent L. Norman, a researcher at the University of Maryland's Laboratory for Automation Psychology and Decision Processes. "We place so much trust in computers that it gets a little scary." No one is immune. No device is exempt. Online message boards are filled with rants about iPods -- sold by the millions on the idea that they are easy to use -- freezing up, and $50,000 luxury cars with windows that roll up and down on their own at random times. The recounting of one's personal technological Armageddon is often desperate and emotional. A recent survey by Norman found that as many as one out of 10 users have hit, kicked or otherwise abused their equipment.
