I have desk top computer (SO) has tons of files pictures programs like poser and graphics. multiple files. I cannot use the computer every time i try to do some thing I get error message program not respond. This is not a new problem it has been going on for years. For example I just tried free trial verson of Nero Burning rom and Ashampoo 10. (I want to burn applications onto dvd ) But I get Ashampoo is not responding or Nero burner is not resonding. I get the message up every single time i do somthing. I go on line try to repair registry files defragment, nothing workds. My computer is Vista (crap asfar as I can tell) I want to do a clean installation of windows 7 ultimet but I can't because so wont copy files. I could try to do some but these programs have pass words and I don't now them. All I do day in and out is try to figure out my programs / never respond. No one will help me. They say that i need to learning for my self. These issues have been going on for years and not just with so. The only thing I can do is email and word, spreed sheets etc. Often I cannot even download anything because because error message will come up saying this or that program is not responding. in researching this today I saw a program call Clonzilla. I thought this might be a way I can get all of his crap off my computer so i can install windows 7 so that I can install something but I cant because you have to down load and burning on to ISO files and nothing will respond. Excuse me for venting but when I say will any please copy your copy everything on the computer so that I can put on windows the only response i get is, I can't get to the computer because you are always on it. (trying to figure out how to get something to respond.
How can i just copy everying thing on the computer to the internet or external hard drive (including files etc. that require a pass word)
I believe with a clean installations of windows 7 will give me an error free computer that will allow me to do the simplest of things like burn a cd uising a program like ashampoo. If possible I would like to do it today. I want to burn a dvd. ( i have been up night and day I never can learn how to use the tools because nothing responds. so after a month of trying to download ffrom demonoid and burn to a dvd I have nothing to show fore except I look like crap for loss of sleep.
Excuse my ranting please but can someone suggest something to me that isn't going to cost much I don't have the resourse to buy more computer stuff that isn't going to respond.
Thanks and the bitching made me feel a little better.

The easiest way to do this would be to remove the hard drive from the computer and hook it up to another working computer, either internally or by using an external enclosure. You would then be able to move whatever files you need to the second computer or to whatever other storage device you have.
 
how is your drive setup ? do you have a single windows partion with your files stored within the my documents, or do you have a seperate partion with your files on it
