    well, i've checked the site and there's really no mention of a way to back it up. one problem i see is i can't see the partition on "MY COMPUTER". how will i drag or add it to my burning software if i dont see it?

    You can't just use the conventional method of backing up such as you would with a document or music. You have to get a special program such as Norton Ghost or some other software that can see hidden partitions.
