[Discussion] OS Refresh after Hardware Upgrade

[Don Burch]

Thanks everyone. I have had no issues moving my OS/2 system drive to 
different pc's. In the 486 days I always sensed that a fresh install 
every year or so got rid of a lot of junk and performance seemed to 
improve. With today's hardware you don't really notice.

Can you elaborate on your cloning technique? Are you doing an simple xcopy?
