I have a flash drive well a couple drives I use when cleaning units.
4-8gb is all you need for needed software.
Ofcause if you need a backup, I make a folder on my external drive
seperate from everything else.
I back up the system.
Ofcause if this has viruses and such on it those go to that folder to.
Then I scan the folder.
on my system.
Then I transfer it back.
Then I kill the files.
I do encourage the backing up of important files by users before they
give me the system because I will have access to everything while its
on the backup drive.

HI Dark,
The Passport drives are fairly new. As I mentioned in a prior post
they are produced by Western Digital. What they are is a small laptop
hard drive seeled in a small plastic case with a single USB chord
coming out one side of the case. they run directly off your computer's
power via the USB port so no special power cables etc are necessary.
The only downside to them is they will drain a laptop's battery pretty
fast if you use it a lot while running a laptop off of battery. Still
the small size of the drive and the fact they now have 2 TB Passport
drives is a compromise between a flash drive and a bigger external
drive.
