HDD backup help

[TripperJoe]

My IBM 75GXP is dying (again). This time I caught it before it was too late. It still boots, even though it crashes during some programs.

What is the best way to backup the data? Another HD on the same channel with Norton Ghost? Will it survive the backup? Help!

Certainly sounds like the best option. Boot into DOS so it's not doing any extra work loading Windows.

What do I hold down to boot into dos again?

F8. But you should be making a DOS boot disk with Ghost on it, so that Ghost can copy the partition from one drive to the other.
