Backing up entire hard drive?
 

Hey dudes. My father wants a back up of his laptop. Unlike most new computers, it's without any funky program which can back the hard disc up.
Do you know some program which might let him do that? Free ones would be extremely welcome.

Freeware? None I can recommend.

But you can get them "free" *wink wink nudge nudge*

Burn to CD and boot from it. Needs equivalent amount of space that you're going to back up, either in IDE drive or external USB drive.
