Thanks Fred, I'm doing the R&R backup to an external HD and I believe I have the partitions set up exactly as delivered. I hope R&R will be okay (plus the HD-bundled software which I use to backup the what I perceive as my data).
I downloaded DFSee and tried it, but I found the interface intimidating. I'm sure there's a simple "copy the HD" command in there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Saturday, August 8, 2009, 6:12:28 PM, you wrote: > I have used R&R a few times on a W500 and Vista. > By default, it "backed up" all partitions to DVDs. > I did some work with the partitions (so I could install > OS/2 and Linux) by shrinking the Vista ones.
