hard drive: I want to back up files on my hard drive of diving, how do you do that?

I want to back up files on my hard drive of diving, how do you do that?

You can use a hard drive, but it is not the drive on which the system or the boot is running.  If you have a second drive in your system that contains system information or startup, you can use this disk for backups.  The wizard backs up (Start / Control Panel / backup and restore) will guide you through the process and provide you with the options you can choose to send the information - which should include this disc hard if it meets the requirements more fully covered in the following article.

Here's a FAQ on the backup and restore that can be useful to some of your questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions.

Here is an article that describes the process of backup and restore in Vista: http://netsecurity.about.com/od/secureyourwindowspc/ss/vistabackup.htm.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
