    You could make an image of the drive using acronis true image or something like that and then when he gets the pc back just put the image back on the drive and his PC would be exactly as before

    I downloaded BACK2zip prog,it copied all documents,and settings folder ,and home folder, in about ten minutes ,very easy to use.No need to read a manual .Just add a folder select destination folder,,click backup.
