Windows XP Home

[Guest]

I need help with backing up all my files and programs on my computer as my
hard drive is starting to fail and I need to install a new one. Can anyone
walk me through this as I have very limited experience with this kind of
stuff. my hard drive is a SATA.

Your best bet is to use a 3rd party cloning software like symantec ghost or
power quest drive image

(sorry about this i forgot to include in the last post.) use ghost or drive
image and just copy one drive to the other via the sata connection or from
sata to ide

Hard drive manufacturers usually provide instructions and software to help
you transfer your data from the old disk to the new. To find out the details
in your case, check the manufacturer's web site.

Have you never backed up before? (Naughty you.) Use Windows' own Backup
program, which has a detailed help file.

The page below describes several fine tools that you can use to backup your
hard drive. Personally, I prefer Norton Ghost.

PLease go here once you have installed Ghost 9/10

Be careful with bad sectors as you cannot backup what you cannot read!


All the best!
