if you have a cd or dvd writer you can easyly do it;\n\none of the way to doing it is using "nero". Nero is a program you can burn cd's and you can find it on http://www.nero.com/  the website of it. You can download the demo version of the program so its easyly shows you what can do.\n\nother way is some easy than first way. if you using Windows XP you can drag and put the files on cd or dvd writer icon on my computer, the files will line up for burning cd or dvd so you can write it a cd(or dvd)\n\nso you can backup your files in this ways

Any recordable CD with enough capacity to hold all of the files.  The 80 minute/700MB discs are probably your best bet.

Use a CD.\n\n1. Right Click on "Start"\n2. Left Click "Explore"\n3. Locate all the files that you want copied to disc.  As you find them, right click them and left click on "Burn to CD" OR "Send to CD" it'll be somethign obvious like that.  After you have selected ALL the files you want backed up, locate the cd in the left hand column, right click on it and left click on "Write these files to cd"  It'll prepare them, then it will burn them.  Make sure you have a couple discs in case your files are kind of big.\n\nOnce backed up, then just run the update.\n\nFYI, the update shouldn't change anything.

You can back up your Favorites to another folder using your batch file.  The Favorites are located under C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;User Name&#92;Favorites.I don't know whether you can burn the files to the CD after that.  Probably, you can use a Windows program to do that.

Burn it onto a CD or DVD and copy it over.  Connect the two computers together via a network.  Use a thumb drive (up to 1 GB thumb drives are out there).

Put the disk in the drive. Go to "my computer" and open, Then right click on the DVD drive and click copy or save. You'll save it to a folder in "my documents" or "my movies" probably. Youcan always name a folder "My DVD".\n\nGood luck

You can make one yourself using a DVD (a CD doesn't have enough space).  If you are running XP, just go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Backup.  Just follow the directions from there.
