Thanks for all the ideas guys. I saw XXcopy as a pretty tried and true solution. I've actually gone through and uninstalled a lot of windows crap, I'd love to find another program to sort thru the windows registry and all the old DLL's that aren't being used as well.

backups daily right now as I cut a wide path throough my drive. Trying to avoid buying a new PC.

Problem really is that this 13GB drive I have has been moved into it's THIRD computer which means I've been using this windows95 to 98 to XP upgraded drive for over 6 years and I'm sure it's a disaster. I remember "fixing" it with a "format c:" once years ago due to really bad
virii (?) but I'm sure it's a real data mess.

Right now I don't have the time to build a new drive so this should get me by...
