17 DVD's! Ouch. I got so fed up with wading through acres of poser stuff, thats only used once or twice and spent a couple of hours "weeding". Got it down to under a gig, and remove stuff now after installing using some utility purchased here. kenyarb is right a external USB HDD would do the trick, and you could use this on another PC. As for the problem of calling that external HDD on startup that shouldn't be an issue with XP. If you are using Windows 98, then I've found making sure STIMON.exe is running in startup makes certain devices like USB keyrings work each time. Sticking the backup app in the startup folder "should" work on all versions of windows. As for backup software, your right. Ghost only seems to support a full drive/system backup these days. Having a quick search around.. http://www.abcbackup.com/screen.htm looks like a possibilty and theres a shareware demo. Or look around zd.net or tucows. If you find a solution please post.
