I downloaded Vista Home Premium as I have XP and wanna upgrade but when I start the Vista install, i cant upgrade, just do a clean install and wipe all my files. Is there a way i can backup my computer without having to burn to discs and start from scratch? also, I have alot of music in my itunes, so if theres a way of keeping that the same then that would help alot, just so i dont have to rip all my CD's again n shit. Someone told me the name of a program that does this but I cant remember what it's called..

If anyone can help, ill give props. thanks

actually, dont worry, the name of the program was Acronis True Image

You can also use Norton Ghost..

Oh...was gonna tell you there's also a way you can dual-boot Vista and XP...although I have to say I tried it a couple times, using different instructions online, and none of them worked

I just ended up downgrading to XP.

You right...Acronis is good, i have it in my pc and work pretty fine...i have no problems for now!!! And for the best, when you make a backup, you can check him out to see is they work properly!!! Good luck with Acronis if you decide to use it and have a nice weekend!!!
