"My computer" and right clicking on the drive you want to check, choose "Properties" and then something like "Tools".
If you install Macrium Reflect, and have a cd burner, making a rescue disk is very easy, and if your computer ever doesn't start up, you pop that into the cd/dvd drive and restart. From there you can install your back-up, if you made one and saved it on an external hard drive.
IIRC, you could also transfer the drive image to a new hard drive if needed.
Can you tell I was caught out in the past with no backup, and hated losing everything? ;)
And yes, I loved that one day of snow! As far as I can remember, this is the earliest we've ever had snow in Eugene. Hoping for more this winter!
