[QUOTE="JakeXPMan, post: 323790, member: 29270"] lol git er done time at the not so ok computer corral. ;) Yeah I didn't have an extrernal drive, yikes... so, its probably just as well, i learned some. This windows xp OS is a security risk indeed,and isnt a great OS to be creating a back up, in shrinking. 117GB total space. I didn't know they were such large files to backup... WellDone and I tried to cpmpress to 35GB's, but still wasnt enough. Now I know the reasons it failed so I will back up different ways since I probably will be moving on from this PC eventually, For now I do need it, so, when its upgraded again. I can use malwarebytes and AV and hope for best. System restore and recovery works great on the old PC. So I will rely on this or a rollback program.. instead of Image creation stuff. I did try system restore before going to recovery but it was a lost cause. Had to re-install xp using recovery. the boot up time is much better now, the first partition added 20 more seconds and xp just didn't like it.. [/QUOTE]
