I remember having to stay up late to reinstall Win 95 on our home PC way back when, but the only problem with doing a reinstallation is that during the time when you are doing the installation, your computer cannot do anything else until the install process is complete, and sometimes it was not always so easy to setup everything exactly as it was before the last reinstallation. Also, I discovered xxcopy during the Windows 98 era, and I used to use xxcopy to clone my primary master to a second hard drive I had installed secondary slave drive. (There was a way to hide the second hard-drive, but I don't remember how I did it anymore.) It was not a very efficient way of doing things, but it worked pretty well. In my view, it was better than doing a new installation and trying to find all of the diskettes for the video, audio, modem, and so on. I have a real phobia of doing complete reinstallations (os, drivers, settings, and software) and I guess that I was traumatized by having to reinstall Windows 95 some many times in the mid-1990s.
