Re: How to back up files?

The msg came up because your sys has detected a problem with your hardware,
most likely your disk drive.
You backup files by using the default ntbackup application that may have
been installed with winxp. But as a first time user you might find a third
party Backup application easier to use.
Backups can be to cd/dvd, thumb drive or external hard disk drive. Many
external drives have backup software included.
You should follow the advise in the msg & backup your data immediately!!
Remember data cannot be that important if its not backed up.
