What is the best boot disk for backing up files?

I would try with new version of knoppix, it can be found on CD, or downloaded from http://knopper.net\n\nOr, you can try to press F8 in boot sequence, and select "repair" so windows is repaired, and no files are lost...

it depends on the machine itself, for home usage\ni would suggest the following\n1) Maxtor\n2) Western digital \n3) Seagate\nall have good warrenty, and i would suggest getting SATA rather than IDE for home usage.

No of files in a PC doesn't matter at all. The most important is you should minimize the files that starts during boot-up and ensure your system is virus free. Meanwhile, its always good to a defragment at a periodocal time as this will reorganise the hard disk seeking meachanisms. Files can be retrieve on a much faster mode.

you can get bootdisk at www.bootdisk.com\nas for the rest, you might have it ( 98 ) allready on the computer in a reserve directory as some computer manufactuers save it on ther rather than giving you the disk

Of course, two hard disks is great for dual boot. One hard disk can do too but slower and you must using fdisk command in dos

I would go to C drive in control panel right click on C drive go to properties then tools and do a good defrag and disk check - If disk check finds and fixes just a few bad files all is well. If it finds a bunch - Start saving you pennies and backing up data!!! You can also do the above in safe mode by hitting F8 while windows is booting. This is the more effective way but it also has a little more risk of changing a few files.

use the windows CD or also called back-up cd

How do you mean clean?  If you mean data wise, then boot from your windows CD and do a low level Format, but you will lose all data on that drive.  If you mean dust, then use a can of compressed air.

For backup (one touch) i would go with Seagate, but for a portable hard drive i would use WD (western digital)\n\nBoth are excellent companies, and i haven't had a faulty product from them yet.

For an exact, BOOTABLE drive copy, use Nortons GHOST..it works excellent, and is easy to use! If you dont want it bootable, just drag your main files over to the new drive for free...
