i cant handle this and changing setings in windows for every differant bench.

windows superpi maxmem 100 and 600 settings..

thats fine but when wpriming u need to change again !!!!

so im ghosting over my image on to all 4 hdrives and labeling them in there respective setups.

i just waste to much time stuffing around in windowsand im on the edge
worst scenario then is changing cpu's and oc profiles for each cpu in the bios
the hard drives should all perform good for what there setup for

eheh

good idea or not ?

Hori

Yeah it's a pain as well... thinking of buying a few more hdds to have them setup for different benchmarks... in past i use Acronis Trueimage to image the OSes but TI doesn't work well for P35/X38 ICH9 controllers http://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65

BartPE boot CD with all ICHR drivers slipstreamed and a copy of GHOST32. This is what I use and works perfectly.

I prefer not to Ghost in windows bit dodgy maybe...here is my method..i have installed on usb pen or Small partition on hdisk.. run through Bootmagic if on hdisk..

basicly Ghost 7.5 is the safest, you need ghost 11.1 for Vista in Dos Mode..

c:
cd \

Disable jmicron and it prolly will work fine ..?

Ypu're not ghosting in windows, you're booting off the BartPE CD which is like a Linux live CD but running XP.

Can I ask why you think ghosting through Windows is dodgy? You cannot ghost an XP build you've booted off anyway.

ghost 8.3 you can ghost in windows.. and you can ghost disk to disk or partition to partition and even Disk to image. But i wouldnt trust using this method as to many other precesses running at same time...

y would u want to boot of a cd for ?? sounds lame and slow..my Maintenance partition is instant bootup ..recover to a saved partition in minutes..Providing on size which is usually small for a benching disk...
