I just put what I wanted to keep onto CD R and a 1 gig flash pen.
Then transferred my pictures, documents, music, video and other files into my Vista machine from that portable memory

Question by Matt D: Can i move storage data from my hard drive to my backup data drive?
On my computer, Vista is the C: drive where all of my data is stored, with 0 bytes on it. Then, i have my Data E: Drive, which has 44.0 GB left. I was wondering if i could transfer some storage space, because i don’t want to move programs over to that drive.
Thanks

You can move extra files and folders over – like movies and such, to your E: drive.
If you mean increase the partition size of the C: size – you can, but you’ll need to unpartition part of the E: drive to do it. I don’t remember if Vista can do this on the fly – Windows 7 can. Though most people would say to keep the partition size as big as 1 hard drive, which I would agree with.
Try dragging and dropping – that should work.

Question by Rorymarsh: How do I backup data over a Crossover Cable Network in Vista?
Basically, I have a crossover cable, a computer running Vista, and a laptop running Vista. What I need to be able to do is network the two computers together, using a crossover network, and transfer all of the data accross to the computer for backing up, so I can format the laptop, then do the reverse and put the data back on the laptop.
Oh and I’m an advanced user, so you can be as technical as you need to be!
Cheers.

The first thing to do is go to the start button, right-click on “Computer”, choose “properties” and choose “Advanced System Settings” and “Computer Name”. Make sure both are on the same workgroup.
Plug in the crossover cat5 cable and then choose “Start” followed by “Network”.
