    Hey guys,

    I know people have decided to remove the Dell System Restore partition to regain some space, but I am wondering if anyone has replaced the image file of the the "bloated" XP version with that of an optimized version. I like the idea of having a partition available to do a quick restore if needed, but I do not want to have to restore the system and then clean off the bloatware each time.

    BTW, I am one of those guys that reformats pretty regularly. Maybe its a little OCD on my part.
