Is there a way to properly back up program files in windows xp?

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I am re-installing windows xp on my friend’s computer, and he wants to keep his games, programs, etc. installed, is there a proper way to back these up so they can be put right back on the hard drive after the xp re-install.

can i use win xp to split one partition into two?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

i have a hard drive that currently has data on it. i’d like to split some of its remaining space into a second partition without having to reformat the entire partition first (don’t feel like backing up 100gb of data).

can i use windows xp to do this or do i need some 3rd party app like partition magic?

My computer wont start up at all, i can get to bios, but not much i can do there. I have my xp cd and i want to install it again, when i put the cd in nothing happens. I think it is frozen. It might be a virus is there anything i can do?
