just installed windows on a 2nd hard drive and can't believe how fast it is compared to my previous installation.
Basically i want to install all my programs and then back up this perfect state - either with norton ghost or XP's system restore.
I am guessing ghost will need a load of dvds to be burned and would over write my email database when i wanted to restore the system in a few months time. so i am tempted to use xp's system restore. would this keep my outlook database? will i get the same spritely performance? how big are the restore point backup files??
any advice would be most apreciated
