installation on a Gigabyte GA-8SIMLNF rev. 1.2 P4 mobo.
After checking on the net, there seemed to be several referrals to
correct this problem by BIOS update. But, as I didn't find any update
for this particular mobo type I begun to check some other reasons, and
quite soon noted the memory modules were impaired, other 266MHz ...

Can i use one of my hard drives as my backup?
I need to re-install Vista but i also need to back up about 200-250GB
before i do that.
Rather than transfer all of that over my home network to another
computer, it would be easier to copy over the things i want from my D
drive to my E drive (those are the only 2 drives with things on that i
want to backup)
Windows (Vista home premium 32-bit) is currently installed on C drive.
