I know this sounds stupid but how can I back up my whole
computer programs and everything on my computer instead
of going to each program and using a cd to copy every
program? I want to install all my data into a new
computer. I am using windows xp. thanks Debbie
 
Debbie, you will need some 3rd party software like Ghost or Drive Image to
do what you want. Moving that same image to another computer is not a good
idea unless they have very similar hardware. You will have issues with
motherboard chipset drivers, video drivers, sound card, modem and network
card drivers. It's always best to do a clean install and reinstall your
programs. Obviously your data will move without any problems.
