I've been thinking (for 2 years) about backing it up but 80gigs = a hell of a lot of CDs so my best option to me is buying an 80gig hard drive and place a clean OS installation on that and copy over what I need to the new drive then format the drives. That way I end up with a clean installation plus more HDD space. If there's an easier and cheaper method I'd wish you good luck. Possibly try compressing that 3 gigs and you maybe lucky to even cut it down to 1.5 gigs that way it's only about 2 CDs. |

Copy the 3 Gigs to the new logical drive on the new partition then format the C: drive. There are free partition makers too. |
