Simple advice on backing up Windows 2000 system files

[zszllll]

I'm MCSE 4.0, but I went developer and everything has been fine for so
long that I need some systems advice. I've been networking and using
Windows 2000 since release, etc...

I want to make this as simple as possible, and I'm sure anyone would
understand.

i have a BIOS drive C: first channel IDE that is divided into two
partitions. C: (primary) and E: (extended data) ... the total is 8GB
for the drive

C: is a system partition of only 1GB and the E: is the rest of 8GB.

C: contains my system files ( NT 2000 Workstation) . This workstation
is my life's blood. Please imagine how important this process will
be.

I need to recombine the C: and E: partitions to make one whole 8GB
drive. ALL BOOT partitions are on other IDE channels and drives.

I have SO many ideas for doing this, and I know this entire thing may
be an old question, but what is the fundamental "easiest" procedure
for restoring NT 2000 Workstation after recombining the two
partitions?

Remember, I need to eliminate the primary partition on BIOS boot drive
C: to extend the whole drive to 8GB.

Any help is totally appreciated!

Thanks.

Partition Magic or equal would be the easiest method.
