I want to copy all my c:drive to another hard drive so that I can reinstall everything if my laptop falls over (it's started doing some odd things!). What's the best way to do that? I'm using XP.

I use Acronis True Image for backups - it's a paid for app, but it's easy to use, it's reliable, has good reviews and I've too much at stake to risk losing data.

Also use Acronis - for backup of the whole machine. Never had to restore whole machine but have restored certain files OK.
