Hey guys,

a while ago i installed W7 over the top of Vista you know upgraded it.

Now i keep getting random lock ups, this has only started after i had to repair the windows last week cos a boot file got mashed.

I wanna do a fresh install of windows but obviously i don't wanna have to re-install all my drivers games, programs and stuff again ?

How can i do it ?

Create an image using the windows CD or something ?

Corrupted boot files and random lock ups suggest to me it might be worthwhile checking your memory and disk.

How can i do this ?
