283502 2004-10-22 04:35:00 I'm thinking of doing a clean re-install of Win XP Pro. Does anyone know an alternative to backing up all my data onto blank CD's? or an external hard-drive, which I won't be able to get my hands on. Scattershot06 (4844)
283503 2004-10-22 04:40:00 Get a copy of Partition Magic or similar, create another partition eg D:\ & back up to that.
Or even better buy a cheap 40 or 80GB drive install it as a slave & back up to that

But seriously I use ghost to burn an image to dvd, keep the same image on a partition and also keep a copy on a bootable usb 2 external drive.
