How do I make a backup disc for my computer?

I want to create a backup disc for my computer so that I can buy a new computer. I also need to know how to delete all of my personal information.

what do you mean by personal information? cant you just delete them manually like deleting internet cache?

regarding the backup thing, do you intend to transfer your files to a new computer? or make a backup of the whole system, then transfer this into the new pc - which is i think not a wise thing to do, because a new pc means that it has new hardwares, so new drivers. i cant seem to understand your question. if you need to transfer important files, you can just copy and paste them into an external harddrive to transfer. with outlook, you can export everything into a pst file, then import them in the new pc.

this reminds me of a blog that is about backing up; everything you need to know about backcing up: http://www.backuphowto.info/

Use "PC Disk Clone Free", a freeware that clones your hard disk to another.

Use "Secure Delete" to delete your files so they can not be recovered ore viewed after.
