hey guys in need of a little bit of help so some advice would be greatly appreciated
heres the situation- i have an old packard bell pc, and because my genius parents decided to buy it from PC world, the windows xp OS is installed on the hard disk and not on a cd
well the HDD has just decided to break down, it goes to load and gets to the windows loading screen, the computer then restarts and tells me i need to backup and replace my hard disk
so we ordered a brand new hard disk drive, if i set the new drive to slave, is there a way to backup the entire contents of the original hard disk to the brand new one set to slave
thanks
