Installfest related question

[Stephen Partington]

I have access to MSDN and can download certain ISO's But what i would do is
make a disk image with something like clonezilla of your Win7 driver and
stash that on a USB hdd or something similar and you can just re-image back
to stock if you need to do warranty work ect.

then you cna full wipe and install whatever VM's you want or dualboot to
you hearts content.

just be careful because OEM install media can get strange when you deal
with top teir OEM vendors. like dell and hp.

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.
