it is either 'Norton Ghost' or 'Acronis Disk' Ram, both can do the job. Look for them and with the help of the tutorials you would find your way to do it.

Guys you let me speechless, I was just trying to help here. Making a book won't be a bad idea, but I won't be able to start this without e46M3 help here. He is still one of the best technical guys that i ever met here on QL. Still sad that we did not meet yet, the football meeting did not work that time and I did not meet him.

Will try to start some simple tutorials and post it somewhere on the net where it would be accessible to everyone.

Hey novita, I also need a copy of that "computer for dummies" lol.

I'm doing great King, thanks for asking, hope ur well too. As for my sony, I'm a sony fan, whether it was computers, cameras or tvs. Hmmm...What I like best about my laptop is that it's super light which is great cause I have to carry it around all day. As for the softwares, there's a bunch which I didn't know how to use! And sometimes it acts really funny, I think I need to get it scanned and renew my anti-virus software, what do u guys recommend?

You guys are so kind :-) I don't do all those complicated things. Still havent manage with my ipod till now :-(

King Edshel ... i think you need to write a dummy book for computer user lol.

My knowledge on the PC only limited on the internet (forums, e-mails and uploading photos/videos). Uploading photos from my camera and handycam. And that's it. The rest i have no idea.

Might have to dye my hair, and you can call me dumb blonde :-(

are you doing and how is your Sony Vaio doing? It is the beloved laptop among most of the women :) you are the fourth one that I know with this laptop.

4 Desktops and 1 Laptop ... one of them is already dead.

Novita ... before you format your computer install a small software called 'Driver Genius' it will collect all the drivers on your computer and you can save it as Files, Self Extractor, Zip File or even an Exe file. Just make it an Exe file so after you format your PC, just get this file and double click on it .. and boom .. all drivers are there with one click, need a restart after that.

Wish that I know about that so I can save you the trouble, Creating an image using 'Acronis Disk' that will make a full image of your hard disk that you can be retrieved again after you are done with formatting windows also :)

By the way, .. how are you doing? Hope that you are doing fine and thank you for the directions to the SA embassy. It helped a lot :)
