USMC Sniper 0 Posted January 24, 2003 Well since I've done a format, I got a good idea for a thread. Let's compile a list of useful websites and programs, say for example "www.nvidia.com" or "www.3dgamers.com", as well as programs such as Ad-Aware and Getright.

der bastler 0 Posted January 24, 2003 Partition Image for Linux A nice program. Saves an image of a HDD partition and gzips it. Runs under Linux, suitable boot/rootdisk images are provided. Can read/write FAT16 and FAT32, NTFS-support is experimental (due to closed sources). I used partimage to save my 1+ GB Win98 system partition into a <500MB image file on my Win98 data partition... And, of course, it's free! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted January 25, 2003 And it works with all popular versions of Windows (doesn't support CE or NT 3.x, but so what?). That will give you peace of mind before doing a format, because it means you won't have to hunt for the drivers when Windows auto-detects all the hardware. If Windows doesn't find the driver on its own, just point it to the drive/directory where you backed them up to. There is nothing worse than going through the Windows setup process and finding that the oddball network card or modem in the system aren't recognized, and now you can't even get on the 'net to download all the missing drivers.
