If you listen to anything I say make it this.

 You will never lose your programs, pictures, or anything again. Macrium Reflect is a disc imaging software. What does that mean? It takes a copy of your hard drive so if you have a hard drive failure or something wipes out your hard drive you can be right back where you were. That means you are right back like the day you took the image. That’s right everything the way it was and it’s free. Here’s what you do first go get the program http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp

After insulation which is very easy, double click the icon on your desktop it will take you through the step by step operation to install the license key then the program will open. Click on the first icon.

And the image wizard will open and take you through the process. You will need an external hard drive to store your image. When you are done you need to make a rescue disc. You will need a CD and click on the disc.

The wizard will open and take you through making a bootable disc so you can restore your hard drive if you have to. And that’s it and it really works. I had a chance to use it on a repair job and I was amazed how easy it was. Now there is no reason to lose your programs or anything again.I highly recommend that you get this and run it today.
