Ever ended up with an unstable machine that you can't just blow away and re-install, due to time constraints? Well yo would be amazed at how often you come across this kind of situation now that computers are in widespread use, as are Beta versions of very enticing products!
The nice people at VMware have come up with tools that can help with a solution. You can save the complete machine as a virtual machine. Blow away the contaminated machine and then transfer the good bits back at your leisure.
The tools are made available free to you by Vmware. Download VMware Converter and use this to convert your current machine into a virtual machine and store it somewhere safe, a new external hard disk is much cheaper than a replacement machine, which I have seen some desperate users resort to.
Then go to Download VMware Server to load the newly created virtual machine, having restored your machine to its factory installed state.
