You need a third-party "imaging program", such as Norton's Ghost.

| I've heard that one can do a system image for backup, and then do the backup, so in case your system
crashes, you can restore it the way it was.  My computer crashed last November and I had no backups of
anything, much less the whole system or registry.  There was some kind of partition problem, so I had to
re-install WXP.  And then go through the long and tedious process of downloading everything again.  So, how
does one do an image of their system, and then do a backup?  Thanks.
