thanks guys. one more thing... what's the best way to back up the machine. when you do the one-touch, does it back up *everything* including the os and settings etc.... or should it be done separately as in: porn, pics, word files, other media separately and then the os stuff separately too?
if everything is backed up as one unit, will that be enough to restore my computer if/when it all goes to hell?
i'm very computer illiterate....
