  1. 3 General Questions about imaging, compression, and Hardware ID


    1. How do you actually re-image a computer using an image? Do you HAVE to have a system repair disc made? Are there any programs that make your images into .iso files so you could boot from it somehow?

    2. Is there any compression when creating a system image of Windows using the built in system imaging (Backup and Resto)

    3. This question is a bit of a long shot, and a little off-topic. But, it used to be if you changed a piece of hardware from your computer, Windows might've read it as a different computer and you'd have to re-install Windows. Well someone told me about this way you could reset the 'hardware ID' (don't know what it would actually be called) of Windows and you wouldn't have that trouble anymore. I was wondering 1. How to do that and 2. Would doing that allow me to re-image Computer2 to be the same as Computer1?

    :)

    3 General Questions about imaging, compression, and Hardware ID

    n73 and image compression level.

    There is no way to set image quality in n73 (only image size).

    Default image compression destroys otherwise good photos by JPG artifacts. Are there any alternative programs i could take photos with that would save images with less compression (better quality)? Or maybe someone already came with a hack to up the compression
    quality in firmware?

    What point is there in putting good lens with high resolution when compression shreds image so you have to downsize it 2-3 times to get decent image quality?
