    @TCDTAD : The "Keep Drivers" option allow to keep all installed Windows drivers after sysprep. By default, a SYSPREP with generalize delete all PNP devices.

    The option to ADD drivers is to add SATA/RAID/NETWORK drivers to the RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT. It may be needed if you want to use network (by command prompt) or if your computer use RAID or unknowd STAT drivers.

    I don't use it right now.

    And for the DualLayer, yes, is for when you hav e a lots of software. For me, a "Basic" installation is :
    - Office 2010
    - VmWare
    - DVD Fab
    - Cd Burner XP
    - Acrobat Reader
    - PDF Creator
    - Windows Live Messenger
    - Drivers + Updates
    - Printers drivers + software
    - Nokia OVI suite/Phoenix/NSS
    - And the list continue. The backup is around 10 gb, so, yes, DL may be good to somes.

    Everything is OK, except this string which is too long to fit! Can you find other words to say the smathing which is shorter?
    Nessuna preparazione di sistema

    Thanks!

    Exactly!
    Good order :
    - Install on a test computer all software/updates
    - Create generic Image and burn DVD
    - Restore DVD on the target computer
    - Install drivers and then SYSPREP manually as specified in the documentation file
    - Reboot and capture from the Recovery Environment

    Thet idea I have now (but I may dot apply them, add more, etc, and not befome some months)

    - Easy restore GUI. Like, answering question and depending of answer, reccomending the good operation to do. Like
    --My computer can con boot. i have a black screen with error message (Boot loader repair)
    --My computer reboot by inself and I can't enter Windows, or when entering Windows, I am usable to use my computer (Repair System)
    --I got a virus and my computer is unstable (Launch Clam-AV)
    --I want to resell my computer and erase my personall files and reinstall Windows (Full system restore with format)
    --Etc.

    -Official file structure (WinRe.wim in the good folder)
    --Can boot by pressing F11 key

    -Periodic warning to the end user until a DVD set/USB key has been created

    -Option to restore from Windows (it will reboot automatically and then restore the computer)

    Thanks all!

    Beta 16 is out.
    It is a minor updated (language only), no added functionnality. So you can still use beta 15 for testings, as nothing in the program/script have changed.
