Well hello everyone. I have been reading rad's blog for many years but this would be my first post here.
I just finished building my new beast:
CoolerMaster cmstacker case
seasonic s-12 600 psu
Asus a8n-sli premium motherboard
AMD 4000+ sandiego
2x1 gig 400 mhz ddr cas2 (corsair)
2xbfg 7800gt sli video
creative xfi sound
wd740gd (raptor) system drive
wd3200sd storage/video drive
2x wd800jb backup drives
winxp sp2

well anyways i got all the os and software installed just the way i wanted it, and thought it would be a great idea to make an image. what with all the spyware/malware/rootware etc floating around these days. ghost 2003 is great, took a look at 20 gig's worth of os and progs on the system drive and made a 14 gig image file with verification in around 20 minutes.
Couldn't have done it without all the reading i have done here.
I first downloaded ghost 10 from symantec and then figured out it couldn't give me ghost 2003. I called them and they refunded my money, went out today and got a copy of ghost 2003. Did a clean install complete with programs followed by a 20 minute bout with 2k3 and now im ready to go.

Many thanks to Rad and all of the input here as i'm always steered in the right direction.
Cheers to you and happy new year.
