Windows Vista Home Premium Does Not Have Computer Backup Feature.?
Windows Vista Home Premium does not have computer backup feature. It only has the ability to backup files and folders but not the system. Please advise how to backup the whole harddrive with every thing thats on the harddrive including keeping all the partions. More like and exact image but should be restoreable from CD or DVD disks.

norton ghost is what you need.
It is called an external hard drive, and I suggest every pc user who cares about their files have one with an exact copy of their drive on it.
When the hard drive fails, it is too late.http://www.jtecdirect.com/seagate-300gb-…
This is a good buy and you can buy an external case here.http://www.gogofan.com/gogofanphp/produc…
This will hook you right up.

There is a restore program under All Programs > Accessories, try that out…
It should ask you if you want to make a restore disk at startup.
