752642 2009-03-02 01:34:00 HI, i have a laptop that i am going to reinstall xp tablet edition. It has recovery discs, but this loads on 18!!! toshiba services which run in the back ground and do almost nothing except hog ram.
Where can i find a tablet edition disk, or can i install XP home or Pro and it will install tablet services??

Or am i up **** creek without a paddle :crying

752643 2009-03-02 01:36:00 you could slipstream the disc using nlite GameJunkie (72)
752644 2009-03-02 01:42:00 Do you mean slipstream the restore disc?? Gobe1 (6290)
752645 2009-03-02 04:06:00 Just install, then remove the toshiba crap with PCDecrapifier.

How the hell would slipstreaming help....???...

752647 2009-03-02 22:28:00 If you like to reinstall every few months/need a back up, then I suggest that after you install XP using the restore discs, then remove all the crap, then image it and save it to an external hard drive. You can use acronis true image or DriveImageXML which is free. Blam (54)
752648 2009-03-03 01:30:00 I use Shadow Protect which works well for me and i have been doing that for each pc i have to reformat in the office. I usually do one image that is a fresh install with only windows , and once it is ready to give to the user i do another image.
I havent had to rebuild this certain laptop since i have worked here and it is way overdue. Just thought it would be nice to do a windows xp only install instead of the usual manufacturers instal.
I read it all the time on this forum that these manufacturers recovery discs are cabage

My cents worth here
