Best Order For A System Recovery?
Posted by benny in FreeWare on June 23rd, 2009 | 3 responses
My pc is generally messed up, so I’m going to do a system recovery. I have the OEM discs and all the software discs that I want to re-install, including Office 2003 Professional. I have backed up all my data files to an external HD, including Outlook Personal Folders. I used Belarc to capture an up to date system profile.
After running the recovery, what are the best steps? Should I do all the Windows updates first, like SP2, or install all my software then do the updates? My original config was XP Pro SP1. Should I load all my data files last?

when i do a reinstall i always update all the microsoft data first then my personal stuff second, i never had a problem
Yes you will want to get all updates first because some of those include security updates and patches so i would suggest doing the updates first and formost, I am sure you will like the new recovery because they always work great after that,,
Good Luck

Do all the windows updates before you start doing your software. There’s several good reasons, like software installing differently or needing particular updates for SP2 it makes sense to have it in place first, or just in case you have to restart the process for some reason.
