You can remove the laptop hard drive and connect it to a desktop PC for backup using an inexpensive adapter cable.
Google "2.5 3.5 ide adapter cable" for some choices.

As in my previous post, I got a Lenovo 3000 N100. It has WinXP Home Ed on it. It came with minimum info (mostly warranty) and one page "how to plug it in" manual. No Backup CD/DVD of any sort. If it were a desktop, I could see removing the HD and backing up the contens of the brand new HD to some other drive. This way I would something saved in case of a crash. How can I do this with a laptop drive? How does one recover from a HD failure? I would like to backup the HD as frash as possible. Guess this subject may have been kicked around here, but it did not apply to me at the time, so I did not take notice.
