Hi Paul....what cost $50? Nlite & Vlite are free and so are RyanVM's packs.

I like Nlite/Vlite/RyanVM's add on packs. They really help in making an up to date install DVD, things like slipstreaming service packs into your original install CD, adding updated drivers for your system etc.

For those who use Vlite (Vista slipstream tool)...just one thing though. I do not believe you can slipstream Vista Service pack 2 into your original install CD. Or you can but it's a very long & complicated process.

You can also download updated install CDs (ISOs) for your Operating System if you have a Microsoft Technet account.

But for mere mortals, we have to make our own slipstreamed & updated install CDs/DVDs.

If your data is irreplaceable ...like a Thesis or something...then you need a good backup plan & policy.

For me...slipstreamed & updated install DVDs are good enough.
