It sounds like the harddrive on my laptop is beginning to go out. Its making a strange noise. What would be the best way to make an exact, copy of my drive, possibly to another drive. Would i have to use a ghosting program or something? I really do not want to lose anything from my drive. My HD is 100gb and about 90 gigs are full. .

thanks,

t.k.

How about the General Hardware forum? *Hint - it's the first one on the list.
