I recently purchased a second hand laptop computer, But All I got was the charger and the laptop itself, no recovery disks..
Its quite an old laptop at that.
E System 3088
40gb hdd
256mb ddr2
Via C7-M Processor
DVD/CD RW (no floppy drive)
OS - Win XP Pro SP3
Not sure on the complete specs as I cannot find a support website anywhere.
Anyways heres what I want to do, the laptop is fairly clean so far and not much crap installed on it. I want to make a complete system and files backup just in case the operating system needs to be re-installed with all current good working drivers.
So how would you recommend I go about doing this? Just remember no floppy drive....
I have read about a couple of methods so far but they require a floppy drive, 1 of them was ntbackup.exe (xp pro backup) and another was with this app - http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ g4u - Hard disk Image Cloning.
I thought about a partition but I still want hard copy backups.
Could I be able recover a backup using network backup but then I guess I still would need the network adaptors drivers installed.
Any suggestion?
