I agree. You need to keep everything down to the basics ie:antivirus(updated),bootdisks(various oses), and of course drivers. Ghost is something that will not always work, but it is good to keep handy. I think all of those diagnostic programs really dont work at all. besides, If your machine does not boot up, how can you install diagnostic sw? oh and of couse ERU! my 2 cents
