    How can I backup all the files on my hard drive. I have tried Nero and also just Copy & Paste, but it doesn't work.

    You can use a program like Norton Ghost to clone your hard drive to another one, much like when you copy a cd except you are using hard dives. You just need to have a spare hard drive large enough to hold all the files. However you will have to open up your computers case and plug an IDE cable into that hard drive.

    or thru an external drive. another option is to get a 1 touch backup drive that connect to your pc via usb & uses a program to save entire hd or selected files.
