Hi! I think my hard drive is getting ready to crash. It did this about 2
years ago and I lost everything. How do I backup everything to cds so that I
won't lose it all this time?

I bought this program... works great and small enough to fit on a
single 3.5 boot disk

If you have an external hard drive (I use a USB 120Gig drive) it
is REALLY fast to create the image files

You might also look at Spinrite to refresh your hard disk
