Need Help with a Computer Problem

[halojango78]

Thanks Kung. Our school... well... the IT department of our school (which is 2 teachers and 3 students including me) have been pushing for students to purchase their own netbook for school, so we wouldn't have to deal with this junk all the time.

We have done your approach to it, where kids are assigned a netbook number from the cart, but kids never follow it and teachers never enforce it. Oh the fun!

I'm not sure if you are familiar with "Clonezilla". You can make an image of one computer (the settings, programs, names, etc.) and save it to a flashdrive. Then, we save it to a huge HDD which has "images" of all of the computer types in the school (well most of them lol). So if there is a virus on a computer or something went wrong with it, we just put the good image we saved before and let clonezilla run and put it on there. It's very useful and I believe its free. Much easier than the old Derik's Boot And Nuke method, because you don't need to add programs and such. So, if the problem is a simple-moderate issue, we just use Clonezilla to fix it. If you have never heard of it, I would highly suggest researching it :]
