Finally got a new MB and ram from Dell. And I did not loose any business data or images during all 3! I agree, Buy Norton Ghost! This software will allow you to backup your entire disk to a DVD or external HD. How i use it is I ghosted my system after a fresh install of my OS with all the up to date drivers. This way I can cut out hours of reinstall. After that initial raw backup i would then install all service packs, then do another Ghost. I would do a third after I install all of my software. So i now have a archive of 3 system images i can roll back to in the event i have a system crash or i suspect a new piece of software/windows update is having issues. Saves a ton of time getting your setup back to 100% when your trouble shooting. I recently survived 3 hard BSD crashes in 3 weeks. Finally got a new MB and ram from Dell.

They promised on a stack of bibles that it would be back in my hands a week... I'm skeptical and can't live without a laptop for a week so I now have new MacBook Pro and the one at Apple will become my backup machine when it's well again:) Doug- The mother-board on my year old MacBook Pro went out (the processor will randomly freeze any time from a few seconds after booting to 10 min after booting ) and the local Apple Store in Bellevue, WA where I am this week insisted that they can’t fix it locally and have to send it back to Apple heaven to be fixed.
