I have tried using the back-up wizard and tick "save all info on this computer". I then get a message that says "The files for the recovery diskette could not be created. The operation was aborted". I don't know why I get this messsage.

I agree with most of the people who have already answered your question. Creating a image of your hard drive and copying it to your new external hard drive is the easiest and most efficient way to backup your files. Norton Ghost is a good choice but you might want to take a look at Acronis True Image and Iolo's Search and Recover 4. Why? Because they are both excellent alternatives to Norton Ghost and they have free trial periods. Why spend money on a software program that you will probably only use once.

2. Iolo's Search and Recover 4 (30 day trial) http://www.iolo.com/sr/4/download.aspx

Well there is only ONE option for ur case :
Download/Install first a backup software like Norton Ghost for ex .
Then open the program and chose partition/s u wanna backup .......then chose like destination ur external (USB i presume) drive . You can use any backup software but with only one condition .......that software must recognise/work ur external drive (usually is a usb one).
P.S. :Norton Ghost allow INCREMENTAL backup too wich is a cool option for me.

Windows has its own backup software, Its called back-up under system tools, I was a little worried about trying it, but it turns out it worked very well.

take me away kicking and screaming; go spend 20 quid and buy a 1gb memory card. (Micom computers) plug it into your usb port and drag it. dump it all on your mates PC, format yours and put it all back.
