I'm having trouble backing some files from my computer into an external hard drive. Keeps freezing at the same file?
Is there a different way to do it other than using the software that came with the hard drive?
Answer
You could try an Ubuntu Live CD, it allows you to run Linux without installing anything. This should allow to then copy the files from your hard drive to the external drive without it crashing.

How can I learn if my computer is x32 or x64? What is the difference between them?

I want to learn the difference between x32 and x64 and how can I learn which one is my computer using? Does the properties option show it?

Quick easy way is to right click on MY COMPUTER and select properties on the screen that pops up it should give a description of your SYSTEM eg CPU and RAM.
The difference between the two is a whole chapter in itself but think of it this way..32(bit) has 32 paths(channels) for data to travel on ( yes a big freeway.. Highway for all you non OZzie people) 64(bit) has 2x as much therefore can transmit much faster (doubled the lanes on the freeway)
This sounds great eh??
well not really unless you are running a 64bit OS there is not much performance gain better off getting a Dual core(2 CPU's on the 1 chip)
XP does come in a 64bit format BUT (big one) there is very little in the way of productivity software out there to run on a 64bit XP and I am not going into the lack of 64bit drivers for all you hardware...
Better to get a copy of Linux in 64bit architecture that will have all the supporting software to make it very useful.
I run a 32bit XP and a 64 bit Linux(UBUNTU distribution) on a AMD x64 Dual core 4200mhz and the performance difference is quite staggering
I hope this gives you enough info if not you can do your own research quite simply by typing "32bit V 64bit" into a search engine ( no recommendations as to which one you choose :)
Just tried it myself and came up with a very good explanation in Wikipedia
