• How to backup EVERYTHING on an external hard drive using Windows Xp professional.

  Hello. I am currently a professional user of Windows Xp and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I will soon buy an external hard drive and I want to have a COMPLETE Windows XP upwards [save IT] in my external hard drive. Can someone help me please? As in the steps to do this?

  There is a way to do really well.  You can clone your XP disk as a file and then access it via Virtual PC.  See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx you can then use the XP Mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx) and load your old cloned drive (vhd file) as a secondary drive and then you can pull data off of it you want.  There is more info here on its use: www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx since you get Win7 Pro, XP Mode will be free.

• delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

  I hope I am posting this on the forum,

  I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

  I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.

  I know that I have to back up this data but where I should come back to? And why is it called (Primary Partition) when it is used only as a return to the top by car?

  I'm only wanting to do because I'm running out of space on my drive C & D drive are the same size! 143 GB & 139.5 GB

  I have a laptop of Acer 6930

  Hello

  D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

  Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

  They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

  You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.
