Anyway if you use GParted: Save this download:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gpa...2&big_mirror=0

This is an ISO file. You will need an ISO burning program to burn it. It cannot be burnt as data as it is an image.

If you use Nero there is an option called "Create Disk Image".

If you do not have Nero you can use this free program:

This will add the burning option to your right click options or shell.

With Nero just point it to the downloaded ISO. With the other recorder just right click the ISO and choose Burn Disk Image.

A new blank CD is required.

After the burn this CD will be a boot disk and will boot GParted.

Verify that your CD drive is set to boot prior to the hard drive and boot the CD.

There are some basic tutorials on the functions and use of GParted here:

This is basically what you will do:

If you have any vital data back it up first. There is always a risk when working with a system partition.

I will dl that program and can u give me instructions to do so and I will check back in the am. Thanks

My last post pretty much outlines what to do.

I have Nero 7 but, when I go to use "create an image" and I point to that file where I put it in a folder I created it don't show up as an image.

Make sure in Windows on the bottom where there is "Files of type" that Image Files is selected.

I think I will just reinstall window Jephree. Okay, what do I do so it will use the whole drive? I don't have much on my computer anyhow. If I make a back up disk on what I have now how do I use that after installing XP again?

Just to clarify my last post this is what you need to see with Nero:

You need to click the arrow by file types (my red) in order to see the ISO (my blue).




If you still want to reload: what exactly do you want to save?

that file I dl didn't show up a "iso"

Save, nothing really. I just thought you could make a back-up with using a program like Nero

NM bro, I dl the wrong file..lol
