She has 2 drives C and D in her hard drive. She has data in her D drive and the windows xp home edition in her C drive. She wants to install the legal home edition in her C drive. Before she does that she wants to backup her C drive into her D drive. Now I'm afraid that when she goes to install the legal edition and delete what is in the C drive that it will attach itself to her D drive because I've had it happen to me. How can we do it so that loading the new os into the C drive does not damage what is in the D drive?
