VT,
Thanks for the offer but LHR to YYC is 3800 nm. I think your travel expenses might be a tad high.
Just let us know how you get on and if you need any help. I don't think I'm a wizard - just very experienced by learning the hard way!
ExXB,
Backing up and cloning, like many things in Windows, is complicated. The Mac is so much easier. My backup scheme is much like yours, except I use Super Duper.
To paraphrase a well known aviation saying:
There are those who have had a hard drive failure and those who will.
