Re: Before I blow windows away....

In the future, if you have a need to backup an OS for possible later
use i suggest looking at clonezilla. it will back up to Internal
drive, usb, nfs, smb, or ftp and it uses dd to make a low level backup
of your drive and partclone to map your partition layout and will do
just about every Os i have run into including mac.

An its not Microsoft, its the OEM vendors not shipping media, you can
order replacement media usually for 10-20 bux to cover S&H ect if you
grumble enough they will sometimes just send it to you. and even then
your 50/50 odds at getting restore media as opposed to install media.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
