Making Friends The EzReload Way

Here was my dilemna. Several years ago one of my internet buddies,

some 600 miles away, had just had his Windows 98 computer go down on

him and had called on me for help. I had been a computer tech for

years and had he been next door we'd have grabbed a cup of coffee and

would have had his machine up and running in nothing flat. He was

completely computer illiterate so there was little hope of explaining

how to use DOS commands to fdisk, format and then reload win98.
I had cut my computer teeth using DOS on an old 8088 IBM years ago

so an idea came to me. I could write him a boot disk with a menu to do

every needed function. Click on partition and format and it was done.

Click on reload Windows 98 and it copies the cab files to the hard

drive and then loads from there just like they would do at the

computer shop.
I sent him the disk and he was ecstatic! In less than 30 minutes

this complete computer noob had succesfully gotten his own machine up

and going. This set me to thinking. I'll bet there are lots of folks

out there just like my friend who shell out good money to get their

computers operating systems reloaded. I wrote the EZReload Boot Disk

to work with windows 95, 98, ME, XP and 2000. There are no DOS

commands. When it loads it takes you to a very easy to understand menu

that does whatever function you need to reload the operating system of

your choice. It's available now as a floppy boot disk or a bootable CDROM.
EzReload has been a GREAT experience for me. I've made good friends

and helped people from all over the world. It's not free but it's very

inexpensive. I still sell primarily to the technology challenged but a

lot of techs like it too because of it's speed and simplicity. Want to

make new friends, just fix their computer for them.
