and i have created 3 partion on the external firewire hard drive.lets call these drive h/i/j
how do i move all the files from
c->h c drive will go into drive h
d->i
e->j

oh and when i need to restore drive c to its original form. all i want to do is move all the files from drive h back on drive c.. and hopefully it have it boot back into 2000k with all of its software and drive the way it was.

well this is what i want to do is it
possible to do it in knoppix? i know i could do this simply by using norton ghost or any other back up software. i'm jus courious ..

I'd suggest that you repartition your firewire hd with one huge partition, boot knoppix, mount your fw hd and then use partimage (somewhat norton ghost-ish) to store images of your three windows partitions onto the fw hd.
BTW, it is always a good idea to keep your backup media offsite, in case your house burns down or something alike;-)
