The hard drive has 3 partitions with sufficient free space for resizing and 
adding new partitions.  I will use CD-Writer to backup.

One addition question on 1 (one) partition case, if I backup the entire 
hard drive, after partitioning the drive how to restore the files to their 
respective partition.

Sorry I don't catch this point.  Could you please give more detail.

Thanks in advance.
