Deathray Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 It has been a long time since I don't feel like burning cds as backup, nor re-partition and move all files into that section. I'm looking for an external harddrive, and then i'll prolly have a nice clean format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyglass Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Never format again...try making a image of your harddrive (i use norton ghost) (takes about 5 min to restore from 2 cd images) norton ghost: http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/ free imaging programs: http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/backupandimage.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
