Hi..i have a HP nc6230 laptop but no cdr dvd writer on board,
i haven't got the recovery solutions CD that came with the laptop!
I want to backup the drive image onto my USB drive allowing me to retsore the laptop if my drive goes down or upgrade, What software will do this?
Will the onboard windows backup manager do the job?
If my drive goes down booting from DOS will not see the USB drive, i haven't got a floppy drive either!

How big is the USB drive? Some images can be larger than 8GB. You may be able to use Symantec Ghost. But typically you would have a Ghost Server running that would send a request ot the client to create an image file.
Once you have the image file(s) on the server you could then copy those to a USB hard disk drive.

I recommend you to use free Acronis True Image 7.0. It is much better than MS Backup utility. True Image will perform a backup with few clicks. Follow the link to get free serial number: http://www.acronis.com/mag/vnu-ati7

you may decrease back-up your information on your USB drives, notwithstanding it will be restricted to how a lot room that your force has. you would possibly want to probable purchase a DVD-RW that plug-ins into your usb port instead because the DVD- RWs have extra room to diminish back up your issues. USB demanding drives do exist, notwithstanding it would cost over $50 to purchase one.

I can't but agree with chromer. In my opinion True Image is more reliable then any other backup utilities and it will certainly do the job.
