I have a user that has a laptop with Windows XP Pro and I need to put a
new
hard drive in it. Can Windows backup be used to backup the entire C:
drive
to tape and restore to a new hard drive? Will it backup all the files
including open files? Should I use Norton Ghost instead? The laptop does
not have a floppy, but does have a CD-RW drive.
