Hi Everyone: I am new and thrilled to have found this forum. I have a Dell with Windows xp. Have had it for about 2 years. Need to rebuild. However, I have some stuff on my machine which is very important including my Quicbooks which is used for my chocolate business. Also UPS online which also has my entire UPS shipping list, my AOL with all my info on there...my favorites etc.. Microsoft Word documents. Dell Picture Studio pictures and the rest. I have a 256mg Scandisk. I also have all my Dell software that came with the computer when I got it. So, how do I go about it? In a few easy steps. I don't need a lot of jargon, that's why I am here. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Linda G. www.vermontchocolate.com
Hi Linda, welcome to D-A-L When you say rebuild do you mean wipe the hard disk and start again? or do you mean change hardware in the machine? Either way you will want to start by backing up all your data - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gettingstarted/guide/backup.asp
