I have an external hard drive which I am backing up all the files I am going to need later. Only problem I have is I have a program which works on my computer right now, but I no longer have the cd to set it up once I format. Is there a way I can copy the whole program and files as it is on my computer and transfer it to the external so it will run once the computer is re-formated? Thanks

Answer:
You need the original Windows Install Disc. You can back up with whatever brand External Backup you want and after you Format your hard drive you can replace evrything you need from the external. It is imparitve you understand that you have to have the disc and the code key for it.

If you are backing up the whole drive onto a second drive this will then become your C: backup. Use a good copy program like Casper 4. Make sure you have saved the program. Format, old drive, load O/S, then connect external backup drive , Drag and drop Casper to new drive and install on this drive. Then just copy whole drive back over. Everything copied will be as is on new drive.
No, cause it won't work fully. You'll need the installer.
yup u just need to back up the whole program directly from program files. not jsut copying u need to back up from accesories>system tools>> backup <<<best answer>>>>
