I have Win XP Home with SP2, and all updates. My eMachine has 7 drives (CD reader, DVD writer, flash, etc.), but no 3.5 floppy. Usually, I backup My Documents on an external drive.

If you want to back up your user data, first carefully define what it you need to back up and locate it. XP by default helpfully stores a number of valuable data items, like Outlook and Outlook Express mail files and Win

What does _helpfully_ means? Well it's Microsoft's ides. It's not mine. Except for the conservation of space on listing such as in Windows Explorer, all files should be visible. If you goof them up, you'll only do it once.
