I've read good things about a commercial backup utility. I believe you
can download an evaluation version to make sure it fits your needs.

You can download it he 'Backup software for data backup and disaster
recovery in Windows and Linux - Acronis' (http://www.acronis.com)

It does a complete image of your C drive, so in the event of a major
failure, you can restore everything the way it was when you did the
backup/image.

Let us know if that works for you.

1.Make sure System Restore is enabled (it usually is by default).

2.Follow the documentation that came with your laptop for creating System
Recovery disks.

Everything that i read states that my Vista Version does not have the
software program to backup/restore my complete C: drive. The Vista only
backs up files, etc.
I have ordered the Acronis Backup/Restore program and it is on the UPS truck
as I type.
Thanks
