I built my first rig about 2 months ago, and I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out EXCEPT I forgot to partition my hard drive (I was a computer dunce, I know)...
The drive in question is a 320GB bohemoth of unorganized information, and currently has about 70GB on it. The other day I got a second internal drive (160 GB, initially for backup purposes) and partitioned it with Windows disk manager. What I would like to do is backup my files on this drive, and then reinstall windows on the 320GB drive so that I can partition it. The problem is that I have no idea how I should back things up so that I don't lose or screw stuff up in the process.
I know about Partition Magic and similar programs, but I'm interested in trying to do this without buying or downloading more apps. If anyone has any helpful hints, you'd be my hero forever... Thanks!
