Simple advice on backing up Windows 2000 system files

[Guest zszllll@.]

I'm MCSE 4.0, but I went developer and everything has been fine for so

long that I need some systems advice. I've been networking and using

Windows 2000 since release, etc...

 

I want to make this as simple as possible, and I'm sure anyone would

understand.

 

i have a BIOS drive C: first channel IDE that is divided into two

partitions. C: (primary) and E: (extended data) ... the total is 8GB

for the drive

 

C: is a system partition of only 1GB and the E: is the rest of 8GB.

 

C: contains my system files ( NT 2000 Workstation) . This workstation

is my life's blood. Please imagine how important this process will

be.

 

I need to recombine the C: and E: partitions to make one whole 8GB

drive. ALL BOOT partitions are on other IDE channels and drives.

 

I have SO many ideas for doing this, and I know this entire thing may

be an old question, but what is the fundamental "easiest" procedure

for restoring NT 2000 Workstation after recombining the two

partitions?

 

Remember, I need to eliminate the primary partition on BIOS boot drive

C: to extend the whole drive to 8GB.

 

Any help is totally appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Partition Magic or equal would be the easiest method.
