THANKS! i repped u lastnight

No problem, my head's fine. (Possibly not least because I don't indulge in herbal recreational refreshments! :) )

You can schedule your backups to run automatically if that suits you better;

lol that is the plan. what was pickling me is the fact that everything is stored on my C drive. so when i select it for the backup. it backs up 500+Gb. it wouldnt of all fit on my HDD lol if i did the new 1 b4 deleting the old. but i have deleted the extra files i had on there so the new 1 will fit

Ah, OK. Once you have a good backup, you could partition your drive to keep your system and data separate.

It's not a big deal, and it prevents you having to do large "restores" if the system crashes. You just need to restore the system. The data is usually OK.

If the disc crashes you need to restore everything of course.

thats what i thought you meant back at the start lol. i just could'nt think how to word that my data and op system were all on the same drive. how would i go about creating another partitian for my data? or would i just be better off doing a clean install and create a partitian then?

Not a problem, run your backups, and then get this free partition manager;

Best FREE Partition Manager Freeware for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 32 bit & 64 bit. EASEUS free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.

Delete all your data files which have nothing to do with the system, and then you can resize the system partition as desired. Make a second partition in the space you freed up, and then copy your file backups to the new partition you made.

It's not hard to do, but it takes a little time and you have to be careful.

cheers! sounds pretty straight forward. you like EASEUS do'nt you. so in my words lol. download the software delete my stuff,resize and create new partition then restore the backup to the new partition.... smashin lol. i'll crack on with it first thing when i got a fresh head on lol. AGAIN thanks vary much for your help, much apreciated

thats why i said i wanted 2 do a clean install. then create a system image once my progs had been installed. i did'nt know there was a much easier way

My pleasure. Any problems or questions just ask. Yes I do like Easeus stuff, I have found it to be excellent. Never had a problem with any of it, which is a great deal more than I can say for a lot of other stuff!
