Are you talking about programs that you like,diagnostic tools etc.?

I take all of mine and BURN them to a CDRW using the ADAPTEC software.I tell it I want to make a data CD that
is compatible with MOST CD-ROMS.It tells me that usually
a CDR is best for this application.I use a CDRW disc
because you can erase anything that you decide later
you dont need...and because you can always add to the disc
later.

After the OS is installed I just put the disc in the
CD-ROM....open windows explorer..click on the CD-ROM...
and start clicking on whatever it is I want installed.

And if I might suggest.....always make sure that you
start with your favorite ZIP/UNZIP program.
