    I purchased a 2500 and launched recovery manager right when I turned it on. It got to the point where it recored the c:\ drive and asked for a DVD. None of my DVD's worked, so I put it off till tomorrow.

    In the meantime, I uninstall all the bloatware, installed MS Office 2007, Ghost 12, and used Acronis Disk Director and repartitioned the C drive so now I have a 70GB C and a 30 GB E: The D is still the recovery manager volume.


    Here's my plan, and I'm trying to find out if it won't work.

    I'm going to make the DVD. Since the snapshot was taken before any of the changes, I should have 1 DVD that can restore back to factory defaults.

    I'm planning on using Norton Ghost 12, and imaging the C: drive (w/o the bloatware and with MS Office), onto the E.


    That way, I can restore to default if I need to. Or, I have the choice of using Ghost to restore after I did all my changes.

    Is there anything I missed ?
