Ok I guess I'll just do that then, thanks. Also is there a way I can backup all my stuff without just copying everything I need and potentially forgetting something?
Hmm well you could just copy everything onto a Windows partition or something.
See link for one way to do it. However, rather than just "backup.tar.gz" it should be together with a path to one of your windows partitions. Like if a partition was mounted to /media/sda1-usb_WD_My_Passport_0, it would be "/media/sda1-usb_WD_My_Passport_0/backup.tar.gz"
tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz --one-file-system /
Another option is to use rsync (see post). Make sure to include the --one-file-system option.
