Open a command prompt, navigate to a folder where you want the data saved to, eg. C:\backup> then run the xcopy command eg. xcopy "d:\documents and settings\name" /e www.computerhope.com |

| 776655 | 2009-05-25 04:12:00 | I think you are right. I've come to the conclusion the HD is on it's last legs. I'll give that a try. Back to basics. |

| 776657 | 2009-06-02 01:19:00 | Ok some progress on this job. Have got a new 250GB HD installed. Have reinstalled the OS & are looking for drivers now. I wasn't able to extract them off the old HD. The Acer site dosent seem to have the chip or vidio drivers. It has Audio, Bluetooth & Camera. |
