WHS, as far as the backup of the data partition, I might suggest Sync Toy. It will copy the user partition to her external hard drive and is simple to use.
Hard disk drive recovery c full - help!

Before you start your backing up, you may like to install all the hardware software for your notebook.(Display, keyboard, touchpad,etc)Hi,
I have installed the newest Adobe Flash Player, and hope I have successfully uninstalled the old version. I've attached a snip, hopefully this will be of use to you to confirm that. I have attached also Device Manager for Theog (hello!).
I'm still not sure whether I have any other old virus protection on here, I can't see anything obvious but really wouldn't know if i was missing anything. I checked my old list of all programs as suggested but don't see any. Could it have been uninstalled last time I unsuccessfully tried to reinstall windows?
I don't know if there is anything else I need to do...
I can't think of anything. Really I'm just clueless on computers about what I should update and how often. For example, the Adobe flash player I would have had no idea I had to update it. Perhaps if someone would be kind enough to just tell me what I should be updating on a regular basis and where I get the updates so i can keep my laptop in tip top condition. 
Thanks so much for all of your help :)

hey guys i have the exact same problem that has been fixed here - i have recovery (c:) and OS (D:) and recovery drive is full, yet OS is 75% empty. have 126.20gb of unallocated space, but cant seem to get that space onto my recovery disk. i am on my sisters laptop now, as i am attempting to re-install windows 7 like what has been done on this thread on my laptop, but when i try to download to OS, it says it doesnt have the available space, even though i formatted it previously. followed this guide but now i am stuck and i cant seem to make it work, will post back when windows either doesnt download or does and i will say how it went.
would really appreciate some help, my laptops been this way for 6 months now and its starting to really bug me now, i have windows 7 64 bit if that helps. thanks
