    I plan on formatting my drive in the next couple of days, and I currently have the OEM disk from Dell that includes Windows XP MCE 2005 edition. I heard there was some way to make a reinstallation disk AFTER I download all the windows updates and some basic software so that from this point on I wont have to re-download every windows update after every format. Is there a tutorial for this? Ive already formated my drive once I just didn't look into this.

    You may be thinking of nLite :)

    You can also check out www.autopatcher.com and have the latest full download at hand. Sure some people don't care for it, but I'd rather save the x time downloading and get my system working as soon as poss asap

    Edit: repetition... makes sense? :p
