installing xp? 30 minutes.
Installing drivers, applications, configuring domain, backup policies, email clients and restoring backups? 5 hours. :-(

5 hrs?? How many application do you install?

Mine:

Xp + SP2 (integrated) - 20 min
Drivers + WindowBlinds + Firewall + AV + Opera - 30 min

Rest of the application, like Photoshop etc I install when I require.
Usually my PC becomes usable in 1 hr. I don't why people require so much time.

good but not a ghost or acronis image

just xp from cd fresh install ..

here allmost says near 20 mins

so why does my pc take so time with a good config like:-

c2d e4300
1 gb ddr2 ram
seagat pata hard-disk 40 gb ( 5200 rpm )

is this bcoz of my hard-disk .

lets see,
I install the drivers after pulling it up from the backup server. Takes about 1/2 hour
I install .net 1, .net 2, javasdk, directx etc for another 1/2 hour
Install 7zip, ashampoo burning rom, klite codec, office, filezilla ftp client, etc - 1 hour (loads of them, like vlc, typing tutors, coreldraw and pagemaker where appropriate etc)
Installing outlook 2003 and configuring for our exchange server, like 1/2 hour
Downloading the exchange offline folder - lots of time.
the use ashampoo optimizer to remove unwanted services etc and cleaning registry - 1/2 hour
I don't know why it takes 5 hours but it does.
Also i have a software called paragon magic that is free, but i don't really know how to use it.

Why dont you use Softwares like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image - why do repetitive work :confused:

Rebooting
installation of an OS will take more or less same time with our systems, as one may have P4 1.8 with 512MB DDR where as one may E6600 with 3/4GB ram...

but the HDD are more or less the same... !! 7200 RPM (though SATA-II is fast but not enough fast to alter the installation time by a huge margine)
