Well, the thumb drives aren't big enough yet, or are they? How much of your
hard drive are you really backing up? Will you be installing a new Windows
on the new drive and then re-installing all your software or do you want a
direct copy of the old drive? Personally, I would want a fresh install, so
the only thing to back up is *data* and that may fit on some of the larger
thumb drives which are USB, by the way.
