Creating a backup Partition

This is still a work in progress, busy ironing out all the problems, will do a complete post, or edit this one as soon as everything is working a 100%.

You know those "press F11 for automatic system recovery" that comes with most laptops, well im busy creating that for selfbuild (non OEM) computers, this will make restoring when a virus has messed up a system alot easier.

Oh and best of all, im going to use only free / opensource applications.

So far, i have

• Created the 2 partitions, 
• Installed XP on the first partition,
• Created the .WIM of the image on the second hard drive,
• Created a Dual Boot between XP and WinPE,
• Scripted the batches for auto recovery

TODO:

• Create the "press f11 key in the MBR"
• Start testing to see if this works on other computers than the test PC,

Will be editing this as i progress,

First Post !

Hey there everyone,

Im new to this whole blogging thing, and as you can see, this is my first post, so it will be like a introduction of me as well as a intro about this blog and what this will be about.

OK, well first things first, as you can probably see, my name is Shaun, and im into IT, and nothing frustrates me more than battling with a problem (be it hardware or software related) and spending hours trying to sort it out, well hours later, and problem solved, but i have one big flaw, i dont document, so a month later someone will ask me "How did you sort out that problem ?" and I have no idea, and then its back to battling the gremlins again!

So, basically this blog will be my documentation station, everything that i have done, will be posted here, so i hope you will enjoy your stay and hopefully you will learn something while you are here.

Later !
