Hi Brian,
The web sight you gave me is excellent. I haven't been able to go over all
of it as yet. I have been installing my downloaded programs into my new D
drive. Now that I have this part done should I think about downloading the
backup programs?

By "installing" I hope you mean moving files to the Data drive. You
shouldn't "install" software to your Data drive.

These were the internet downloads for the spyware I had deleted and then
reinstalled to the D drive?

Hi Brian,
Sorry I took so long to reply but somehow I lost the connection to the
newsgroup and just got it back.
As I understand, I can install any thing I download from the Internet to the
D drive but if I install a program from a CD or DVD I install to the C
drive, is this right?

Not really. Any file you download goes to the D:\ drive. Then when you
double click on that file to install the program you will be asked about
installing to C:\Program Files\... Accept this. So the program is
actually installed to the C:\ drive. I think we've had a difference in the
understanding of the terms download, move and install.

Installing from a CD also goes to C:\Program Files\...

OK I think I understand what you mean. Install the .exe file to the D drive
then when you click it to open, install in the C drive. I think the ones I
have already installed to the D drive are ok because they also installed to
parts of the C drive. With your help I think I am beginning to see the
difference between the two drives.

You have got it. Download is receiving a file from the internet. Installing
is a Windows process to make the application work. Files may be placed in
numerous areas of the C:\ drive by the install process.

Let me reword your message

Does that make sense?

OK, I now have it. It took some time, we almost ran out of post space, I
stopped getting the flag showing if the post has been open. Now that I have
this part, is there another step to do?

So now you have My documents folder on the D:\ drive.

Can you work Second Copy?

Unfortunately when I deleted the programs to move them over to the D drive,
I must of deleted Second Copy also. I will have to download it again, I was
on the 30 day trial.
Should I download to the D drive?

Download all files from the internet to the D:\ drive then install to the
usual C:\Program Files. Actually, if you haven't paid for Second Copy yet,
hold your money because you really need a second hard drive to make it
worthwhile. Install the trial and play with it, sending your backup copy to
a folder on the D:\ drive.

For your interest

http://www.ozcableguy.com/backup.html

http://www.rdcomp.net/ezbackitup/index.php This is free. Not as many
features as Second Copy, but you may not need scheduling etc.

Hi Brian,
I looked over EZBack-it-up and again it calls for a packet writing software
(DirectCD, InCD, itc.) Unfortunately my "RecordNow" which came with my Dell
computer doesn't qualify. I have to have a software that will format my CD.
But it is a free download and I could try it? What do you think?

David, don't use packet writing software. It's unreliable. I used to have it
but I uninstalled it a long time ago. You can use EZBackitup just to create
backup folders on you hard drive, which can be burnt with regular CD writing
software such as Record Now.

If you really want to try packet writing software against my advice, is your
email address correct?

No I really don't care about having packet writing software, it was just
that it seemed all of the backup programs called for it, but if you
uninstalled it then I don't need It. If I don't need Packed software to
backup my folders to CD writing I will download EZBackitup. The price is
right.
