An external USB drive is the easiest as you just plug it in but an internal drive is faster. The prices are similar so get whatever suits you.</p> <p>You need a program to create/restore the image. The free version of <a href="http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp">Macrium Reflect</a> works well and it includes a utility to create a boot disk that you&#39;ll need if your hard drive dies.

For non-GOTD programs, it&#39;s just re-running the install programs and registering where needed using the registry codes you have (hopeuflly) saved.</p> <p>GOTD products are only the one day. It is possible that a copy of the installed folder (not installer) will work but there is no guarantee and only at best a 50-50 chance of it working. Most likely, you must either wait for the product to repeat here or purchase the ones you want. After all, that is the intention of the GOTD project - give you a hint of what&#39;s available and if you like it, purchase it and other products from the company. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9687#post-90741 Sat, 07 May 2011 19:08:10 +0000 triviaace11 90741@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>When you reinstall your OS you lose all programs on your HD.

I am using Wax <a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wax/" rel="nofollow">http://www.debugmode.com/wax/</a> which does a reasonably good job on videos but is really not meant for images.
