hi,whs.
my i ask you end something more? what's "backup" in pc,hou can i make
this,i need to do this before format? thnx.


"Backup" refers to saving your own data. Your own files and folders you
should copy to an external device (external disk or USB stick of
sufficient capacity). Then after the reinstallation you can recover that
data and put it back into the corresponding folders. This is required
because the reinstallation of Vista will destroy everything that you
currently have.
Note: The procedure I posted is for a Gateway/EMachines PC. If you have
a different make, the procedure may be slightly different. That's why I
had asked to give me the make of your PC.
