If this model has a DVD writer I guess you could use Norton Ghost to back the entire thing up.

Well hopefully I'll shed some light on the situation.

What I would do is setup the notebook with everything you need programs wise, setup internet, e-mail and settings, then get yourself a copy of Norton Ghost and make a ghost of the WHOLE hard disk onto DVD, then all you have to do is use your personal set to get yourself back to normal if things go wrong.

:arrow: Amazon.co.uk have it for £38, but check the Market Place as they have it for £19.

My friend uses Drive Image 7 which he finds is good with USB hard disks and so on.
