Micrsoft Virtual PC backup image of my C: hard drive

Thank you all. I just wanted to make a backup of my computer so I don't have to be
doing manuell restorings of my settings.

About it I have run in several problems. One was I have not enough space left on the
other external hdd since there are backup files yet.

The other one was the computer froze on trying IRestorer which was no good. But
as I said I haven't had suficient space left anyway. Bad was I couldn't see if the
program was still doing something as the computer stopped responding. I stopped
the whole process with the help of the reset button.

The other thing was I could only restore the files also to the same program, which
was unfortunate in case I would get an other operating program. When I would have
some more gigs left I would go for an image backup of my hdd as well, that just
dosn't work right now.
