How do you do that?

Back it up on another computer or hook another h.d.d. up. Basically select all the files you want and drag them to your destination.

Get the new harddrive ... Connect the current harddriveas a slave ... Install an OS on New harddrive .. then move all ur data into the new drive

or just burn it to a whole bunch of cd's. not recommended, but back up only stuff you need... dont need to keep installers and stuff you can download again
