Tablet PC

Just bought myself a tablet PC. Comes with XP Tablet edition preinstalled, but no install disc.

I've used Ghost to backup had dives in the past but with no drives (optical or floppy) anyone know a good way to clone the drive for later recovery?

about to suggest the same for the USB drive (maplin have an offer on for computer kit at the mo - usually includes usb driver kit for hard disks)

and we use acronis in the office - not bad s/w.

If you don't want to spend money (or use illegal software) then CloneZilla Live will boot from a USB stick.

Cool

View Anywhere screen or normal indoor screen?

I work for one of the Motion distributors in the UK. If you need anything, let me know

The Screen displays well outside

I'd noted that.
I was thinking more along the lines of recovery CD's (if you ever got a USB CDROM).

That would be very cool
even an .iso of the recovery disc would be extreemly helpful
