Just built new PC

[JSW]

Hi
My newly built PC is working a treat and I am well chuffed with the software
installed, which took a while to install. Is there a way to copy my hard
drive as it is now and use it to start again with if I have to format.

What you need is disk imaging software such as Ghost or Drive Image. These
will make a mirror of your whole HD that can be stored on CD's or a spare
HD and restored in a matter of minutes.

I have a maxtor hard drive and I have a hard drive in a removable tray that
I duplicate teh main hard drive to once a month . Maxtor has free software
that allows this direct copy. Takes about an hour to duplicate a 40 gb
drive.
