Posted June 18, 200816 yr ....crashes. My every attempts to run 64 bit XP fail with a crash. The longest time I have had the os running is about 3 months. I think I can maintain a computer reasonably well. Now I want to do a course in computing, a good step for me you may say eh...so I only need XP Home Edition to have Microsoft Office Professional 2003(the course requirement office software). I would like to have a backup software and I do have and can operate a backup from Neros BackItUp version 1.2.0.65(in the Nero version 6.6.1.15 which is the last version of the version 6 software) but my experience of backups is to operate the software and understand using XP Professional Backup. I would like to have XP Pro to backup to DVDs(more than one). Nero is oldish now and I can not really afford an expensive Ghost. I can dual boot XP Pro and I think, install the Backup inot XP Home form the Home cd and run backups somehow from them...or use the Nero software. I know Nero can back up to a number of CDs or DVDs but XP Pro Backup can or can not back up to a number of CDs or DVDs . I also have Farstones Virtual Drive pro and can make images of files, this is a thought at this moment...I am not sure if I can backupa very large image, more than 4.7GB. Can anyone suggest a good choice to make regarding these options because I don't want to spend any more money to do this. The alternatives to taking advice will be to experiment. I start the course , maybe in 4 weeks or after, so I guess I have some time to experiment anyway. ....hese are just some thoughts I have had... -- ....scribble...scribble...scribble...
