When you built my PC you gave me a Norton Ghost boot floppy and 2 restore CD's. I am installing a new drive for my OS and wanted to know if I could use these restore disks to get my system back to the way it was. Can I use them on a fresh install or do I have to reinstall all the programs first? Just thought I should ask before I tried.

Thanks Opus!
I put new drives in and installed the OS last night. Everything went smooth but I ran into a small problem, if it is a problem at all. The OS drive is FAT32 and the audio drive is NTFS. Not sure why they did this. Is this going to cause me problems? Should I convert a drive to the same file system as the other? I put alot of time into installing the software, programs, and tweeks so I dont want to loose the OS drive. So, should I convert the audio drive to FAT32 or can I convert the OS to NTFS without loosing all my information? Can you please tell me how to go about converting the file system if I need to.

Ah good!
Also, as to your tweeks. I just converted the audio drive's partition to an Extended Partition then a Logical Drive. I am reformatting the drive as I type. So in the computer management window under disk management the audio drive box should be highlighted in the bright blue with the green under it. This represents it is a Extended Partition as a Logical Drive. Am I correct?
Awesome tips Gary! This PC is smokin. :tu:

If you are using the same exact system yes, if you built a new system with a new mainboard then no, you need to re install everything again.
