We showed how to back up software, music documents and other important files, before they are lost to some unexpected event, which will definitely happen if you do not take precautions in advance.
We also showed how to make an unattended installDisk to automatically install Microsoft Windows XP, without user intervention or sighted assistance. We covered how to insert all Windows updates, add the latest software like Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6, CCleaner, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3, Windows Media Player 11, FileZilla FTP, and more. And we discussed how to include drivers for sound, video and networking.
