    Is there a way to copy all infomation on Hd to a CD/Dvd? I think my wife is cheating. Before I leave I would like to copy all her computer drives for everything thats on there.

    Well, no. The DVD/CD won't have enough room.

    If you know where the actual documents are, then a lot can fit on the dvds. There is a lot of stuff that doesn't need to be copied to the disc. Like the Windows OS stuff.

    We really don't need to know this..... but you have to ask yourself, "what information do I need to save"??? (documents, pictures, or saved email) ???
    Or if she's using Web Mail, there won't be any evidence left on your PC anyway. It's all on the web server.

    Maybe the time would be better spent on improving your relationship with the little lady.
    Eh?

    Thanks for the quick reply

    I would like to copy anything done since the computers were bought.

    "Anything" is way too nebulous!
    Exactly WHAT are you looking to save? Be specific!

    Or just run a Hard Drive backup program like Ghost or Acronis true image and back up everything on the C: drive.

    But speaking from experience, if you're having a domestic problem, you're looking in the wrong place.

    I agree with the above and its very possible to just copy everything in an image file, then you can query/explore that image file for specific documents, so long as you know the location of the files folders

    Imaging will copy everything including the Windows and all 3rd party apps files, but it will do what you want.

    Two free options are

    Easeus ToDo and to explore the image backup file you just can mount it as instruction HERE plus full user guide HERE

    Karens Replicator


    Just will need alot of CD/DVDs to copy a HDDs info, as it depends on how much of the drive you have used up, it could be many Gigabytes, or as these applications also allow choosing specific locations you can back them up also to save space and time.

    As mentioned if you know the file locations you want you can just burn them to a CD/DVD using something like CDBurnerXP
