Re: Backing up computer, need some help.
Anything you'll regret later of deleting. Mainly I just save pics, documents, music, movies, and favorites when I reformat ----. Pick up an external hard drive for cheap and save yourself lots of time when backing ---- up. Or you can download a hiren's boot cd, open a partion program and create a new partion on the hard drive from some free space left on your current partion. Copy all the ---- over there and keep it there.
Have windows and programs on C: drive and all the documents on D:.

Re: Backing up computer, need some help.
move everything to My Docs, back up to a USB portable drive, I have a 300 GB portable, as well as a 400 GB and 500 GB powered external Seagates.
Internally I have a 40 GB for the main drive (C
and a 400 GB for TV recordings and such.
about 1.5 TB
I had a huge loss of pics once, vowed it to never happen again!
Just an idea.........
