Need to backup my system on a CD - R

I have a laptop of Dell anchored C/600. It has interchangeable floppy drive-DVD readers. Computer indicates the size of the file to large to install diskette. This computer has been interrupted since ' 09. Started, updates installed. Rebooted, logged, error 2 ServicePak has not installed. Uninstalled.Restated reinstalled. Now need to backup systems. Registry. and files. My exwife was the computer nerd. all new, it's me.     Neeeeed Heeeelp Plllllleeeaaasssee.

If you are planning a complete backup of your system, using CD - R blank is not practical. A CD - R disc has a maximum capacity of 650-700 MB; I'm sure that your system is using a minimum of 4-5 GB of disk space, or (much) more. Writable DVD or external hard drive should be used.

To see how much space disk occupies your system click on the Start button, then right-click Workstation, from the context menu, select Explorer.

In the my computer window, right-click on the main drive in your system, probably the drive Local (c), in the right pane, in the context menu click Properties.

Just above your disk image, you will see used space.

  • do I need to backup drivers if I want to format and reinstall windows 7?

    My laptop already has OS "windows 7", but it is slow and has problems with gel
    If I want to format it and install clean (windows 7) and I have the CD and everything
    and I backed up every thing I want, documents, pictures, music, videos, etc. on an external hard drive

    citing again once I want to format the entire hard drive of the laptop

    Hello S.e.91,

    If you have a full retail version of Windows 7 to install. There is no need to format, Windows 7 will do all the necessary work. All the necessary drivers for the operating system will be loaded directly from the Windows installation disc. After installation, you will begin to install other software that you have purchased; all the necessary drivers for this third party software will be, once again, from the software disc.

    If you have an upgrade copy of Windows, you must install an earlier version of Vista, of Windows before moving on to a more recent version of Windows.

    If you install a full commercial copy (in other words you bought yourself a converted copy of the operating system) you can find this link on my site useful: http://winuser.co.uk/09_installing_windows_7.aspx

  • I need to backup my emails so I can replace my hard drive.

    I read the response "I NEED TO BACKUP the FILES of mail ELECTRONICS, WHO CAN ALWAYS BE READ LATER". but who was referring to the IMAP and I use pop. I expect that the procedure is the same, but that is the problem. I have a lot of files to attachments. The answer does not expressly say that bindings and / or embedded images will be included with the saved emails. I expect that most people take for granted, but it's the first time I'm trying to back up the files. Several years ago I 'save page as' with a few pages in Firefox and when I opened the once again the pages were nothing like the original. I think the only thing that saved were the links to images that have been on it, and they were no longer on the net. Since then, I've been nervous about back ups and import / export. My hard drive is a failure so I have to replace the drive, reload TB, and bring back the files. If anyone can give me some advice, I would be very happy. Dave

    Thanks I didn't loose all attachments, but I saved attachments to files on disk. So I thought that this could be considered an extraction. I am running Spinrite on the disc right now, but I'm going to busy with the links you sent me. Can I mark this resolved and ask a question if something happens? Thanks again, Dave

    PS. I am curious about the purpose of the link that keeps TB.

    I have IMAC 21.5 10.7.5 2011: 1) is - it really worth upgrading to El Capitan? (2) do I need to backup before the upgrade?

    Yes. You must back up before any important upgrade on your Mac.

    How to identify files that may be deleted without jeprodizing the files needed to run the system?

    If you have to ask, the answer is "Don't '.  Uninstall programs that you don't need through programs and features or add/remove programs.  Do not, under any circumstances, remove files unless you are absolutely sure you know what you delete first to 100%.

"."  How to save and backup my Office Outlook 2007 (pst) files to the external drive and reload the disk hard drive once the technician installs and I reload all the programs?    I found an article stating that I have to change the Outlook data folder to a name I will recognize later.  I did it; tried to follow the steps and it impasse. what I am doing wrong and how can I be sure that data gets saved to disk in position correctly to re - install once I am in service again.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You need learn to navigate through folders in Windows Explorer. You can find them in the C:\Users\username\Outlooks files.

    I don't really know what that NTI, but I would not trust this application with your files. Back up your files REGULARLY, it's something you can do already, not only to replace your hard drive. And that means understand where all your important files and using an easy to keep on a separate hard drive backup program.

    = Backup all important files are on two drives separated at all times

    Archives = backup files to a permanent location, such as a CD or DVD, in a location separate from your computer.

  • I have that one saved backup system, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

    I run the Windows Image backup to a hard drive external on a weekly schedule. The result shows on the hard drive as "WindowsImageBackup\(User name)-PC\Backup (date) (number)"-currently about 80 GB (binary).

    I reserve about 135 GB of available space for backups of the system, so I save only the last backup of the system.

    So far, I have no problem with that.

    However, the disk hard, there is another folder '(USER NAME)-PC' & under which is a folder "backup of files (date) (number)" for each time that the backup system runs.

    These files vary considerably in size - for example, 1 GB, 12 GB, 22 GB. They delete or replace automatically - just, they accumulate.

    What I want to know is ~.

    What is the purpose\importance of these additional files?

    Since I only have a single saved backup, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?
