Backin up my hard drive
OK - so I want to back up my 80 GB hard drive (about 70% full) on my external, but the limit for backup files on FAT32 formatted drives is 4GB. Any way around this, or does anybody know if the backup file would fit on my hard drive and then I can copy the file over?

I didn't spell it wrong. I'm so awesome, they had to redefine the word--in a different spelling :P
