Recently my .net framework stopped working and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it multiple times but to no avail.  I asked about getting help for this problem earlier and somebody said something about being able to make a cd with the windows system restore on it.  If anybody could tell me how to go about that I WOULD appreciate it since I need .net framework to run alot of the applications I intend to use.

Thanks in advance for any help and if there are any better options then this for fixing my .net framework feel free to suggest them.

EDIT: I'm using vista by the way, forgot to include that. Sorry.Easiest way to make this would be to buy Ghost or another Drive Imaging utility. I use Norton Ghost 2003 for most of my ghosting of all systems including Vista systems. You have a number of choices of methods to create your image.

1.) You can create the image to CD's ( "Warning: will be MANY CD-R's 10+ for Vista")

2.) You can create the image on DVD-R's ( "Better than CD'sin the fact that you might end up with between 2 and 4 with a clean build of 8gb to 14gb, but you have to baby sit it and insert the next disk when the previous spanned image fills the disk.")

3.) You can send the image to an external hard drive and link via USB to make the image thats size can be as large as your entire hard drive is on your system, as long as the external has enough space to take a snapshot of your current drive in equal space. ( slower USB 1.1 can take hours for just an image of say 12gb )

4.) Best "FAST Image creation and Restores" method I have used for all my imaging needs is to take a second computer and set it up as a image file server. Peer to Peer the systems up over a network connection by use of the Ghost Peer to Peer package, which will link your computer to the image file server from PC DOS which also comes along with Ghost 2003. Set the static IPs of these 2 systems to see each other and then select your image from a list of available images to restore or push an inage to the image file server at fast speeds that are only limited by your network connection and drive performance....

*** NOTE: You may have to hunt around online for NDIS2 DOS Packet Drivers for your Network adapters chipset to have a network link in DOS. Some chipsets are a needle in a hay stack trying to find NDIS2 Packet Drivers... Easiest way to get through this issue would be to buy 2 cheap on ebay or elsewhere Intel Pro 100 Managed PCI network adapters with the Intel GD82559 or 82559 chipset. *Ghost comes bundled with some drivers, and this network adapter is supported. The other network adapter I have had good luck with is also another older NIC, but a 3Com PCI adapter with the 3C90x or 3C905 chipset... Other chipsets are also supported, and you can look through teh drop down list of available drivers bundled with Ghost 2003, but with Ghost 2003, you have to remember that this software is 5+ years OLD, so you will likely have to use older network adapters to create the link or maybe you will be lucky and your NIC supports another chipsets instruction set etc.

*** Note: The newer versions of Ghost with exception to the expensive corporate editions no longer have this network imaging solution. They took away this powerful tool and bundled it with the corporate or enterprise version now for image distributions to multiple workstations concurrently vs just a peer to peer.

-------------------------------------------------

The alternative to ghosting is the MS Backup method bundled with windows in which you include the system state as part of the backup, but it has not been as reliable as ghost, so I use ghost.

Ghost is EASY for imaging overall...very straight forward and not very expensive, but you will have to find version 2003 second hand.If you're looking for free drive imaging software there's always...

Drive Image XML and HD Clone Free Edition

BTW...did I mention they're...FREE!Can't you just run System Restore? Your question is un-clear to me.
