Vista and Acer Aspire 5515
Hi Everyone,
I recently got an Acer Aspire 5515 for school and it has vista. My question however is about backing it up. When I first got the system it instucted me to create back-up cd's so I did. The is also a D: drive that has nothing on it; it's factory name was data. Dose this mean it's the back-up data drive (I have an app that loads that will write a backup file to D  and I should run my backuper software? Thank in advance. JE Powell

Sounds like that drive is empty and waiting for you to put something there. Depending on its size, you are free to do as you please.

You have one Hard Drive partitioned into 2 parts.......C where the Operating
System is and D where you can store your personal files or install new programs to. Being it is only one HD I would not be backing up to D...if the HD were to crash you would lose the ability to recover your backup. Backup to external media like CD/DVD or better an external hard drive. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it.
