    Looking around, I see a bunch of ways to create personalized recovery CD. So I was wondering what the best solution is for the following recovery cd:

    Windows with updated pack, Dell drivers installed, Firefox and other software installed.

    I saw the guide using nLite, but can I "integrate" my own programs into the install with windows?

    Thanks to all.

    Acronis is very good, but I don't think its free. :/
    You have to burn a bootable Acronis on a CD or DVD for when you want to do the recovery and then the actual recovery.
