what's the best, least janitory way to back up my dad's windows (7, home premium) laptop to  the ideal solution at first seemed to use the builtin windows backup to his google drive folder, but it seems you can't use that with anything except a physical drive that isn't C:

If he has more than 10gb of data its worth paying for the backups. Also for just pictures, onedrive, and drop box both give you extra free space

eh, it's going on a windowless case so I'm not so fussed about the eXxtreme styling, but the IV board got good writeups for putting a quick processor and a bunch of RAM on - if I can get my photo processing back to real-time from 'move slider, wait 5 seconds for screen update' I will be happy. lol if you suggest a Mac Pro, don't even try and 36 me bro.

I have an Office365/Onedrive for business account that apparently comes with 1TB of Onedrive (it's that student deal that was circulating recently). The online Onedrive interface is pretty terrible for general usage, and I'd get more use out of it if I could map it as a drive in explorer. I followed the instructions here: http://thetechl33t.com/2014/03/14/how-to-mount-your-onedrive-as-a-local-mapped-drive/ but it never accepts my credentials, despite the fact that the same credentials log me in just fine on the website. Is it just some restriction on the business accounts or the type of account I have, or something else? Locally I am running Win7 and Office 2007 (which should be fine for this). edit: I should mention that my credentials are rejected in the official OneDrive app also. edit2: turns out that onedrive for business is complete poo poo and not at all technologically related to regular personal onedrive. I can't think of anything more microsoft than that situation. sleepy gary fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Oct 11, 2014 |

I have 8 identical machines onto which I need to load windows XP (lol) and fully update it and stuff. these computers all have OEM product keys. since I can change the product key after it's installed, I want to fully load one PC with everything I need, make a disk image out of the hard drive, and then write that image to seven more hard drives. what program would I use for that?

you know why XP might still be in use for workstations but a better question is why not run it in a VM or something since apparently it's required for something important
