Less than we thought;definitely needs another 1 GB don,t you think.
I,ve drag and dropped his pics on to a stick, but will back up to DVD.
He,s not got a lot on, only 2>300 pics, no docs as such, don,t know about files that are required .? He doesn,t use it much.What do you think I should back up? He was only bothered about his pics.

I,m in your hands.

using backup restore and backed up all ticked boxes which it recomended on fujitsu;

Back the pics up separately. Put them all in a single folder and burn the folder/data to a DVD.
Or if they are already all within the Pictures folder, then burn that folder.

Oh yes...it's the Vista Home Basic machine running on 512MB RAM. 2 x 256MB RAM.

The 1GB RAM will certainly make a difference and the clean install even more so.

Did everything windows ticked, and it took 2 full dvd,s and ages.Didn,t realise there was that much on?
Don,t know if restore discs were on Pc? I,m sure I saw them once;
Then, unticked all boxes,except pictures, as his are in 1 folder within pics, and burnt that seperately.

Turn the machine off completely, then turn it on with the Power button and press F8 as soon as you've done so.
