Thanks.
I assigned a drive letter by right-clicking Acer, as you suggested, but I am unable to access the "username" folder (see Pic).

I have to leave, for a few hours. Thanks for your continued support. Geoff.

Great. Thanks. Will look at, in a few minutes.
Looks great, hopefully it is fool-proof!
Would you suggest Option 1, 2 or 3?
It looks like I have made an error by creating a System Image instead of Backing Up my folders and files. I admit to being a bit confused as to what the difference is (or was) between the two.

Okay, communication problem. Many thanks. FYI, the laptop (and harddisk) is 6 years old and has seen much traveling by car and foot. It has served me exceedingly well considering my late introduction...

Okay, I was working on large files (Word, Excel) and laptop was labouring at times.
I appreciate your help. Any advice on where to get (and what) hard drives. My system specs show Hitachi HTS...

Another problem: I can access Control Panel but cannot get into View Devices and Printers - it hangs up with the hour-glass symbol and won't allow to be closed or minimised.
I'm losing patience...
Thanks Rich. Just back online now.
I had left my laptop in sleep mode for past 20 hours. I've just opened it up, and some unknown device is being installed, very slowly. I didn't expect this....
I can see the zip file attached, dated 22-02-2017 225229.

Geoff.
Same result, hanging up at Printing stage but returned to the command line prompt when Cancel was selected. The first method (after selecting Cancel) actually made a zip file on Desktop - maybe this...
