well the problem is the Hard drive on my moms computer is failing, so she's getting a new one. So my best bet is to get an external hard drive, and back everything up on that? then install the new harddrive onto the comp?

1. Raid 0 is not a substitute for backups
2. You don't need to buy a program (ntbackup.exe is included in windows) 3. You don't necessarily need an external. A cheap internal will work fine if you have the room. 4. Have fun! |

 Unless you meant RAID 1.Like others said, another internal hard drive is a good route. If you learn a bit of Windows scripting you could even setup some jobs to automatically backup your files weekly, daily, etc.

If the hard drive is failing like you say, keep the computer off til the new one arrives. Dying drives have a limited life span and once it's up they'll never come back.

Well since you already have plenty of suggestions, I'll throw another one out there that I have and personally have used.
Its called Acronis True Image. It will make an image of your entire drive, including all documents and current installed programs. You can put those images on cd(s) then when you get the new drive, run them and they will reinstall everything picture perfect just as it was on the old drive. All your documents, programs, everything...will be there. But it does take a little time to backup. |

I know my old MP3 played also worked as an external HD, im not sure if you have an iPod but maybe they work the same way, so you could dump it on there...you could also get an external HD and dump it all on there..pretty much what everyone has said
