You should be able to do this by opening backup program
click on advanced wizard will want to copy to A: instead
browse and select the drive you want further along and
different tabs, to set schedules etc. I know you can make
complete backup I did it to another partition on drive but
have since gone to ghost since xp home is not a bootable
backup. If you have home you will probably have to
reinstall windows on one drive to access your backup on
the other. Hope this helps.
