C Jack is still having a problem:
Nothing to backup. New computer with no use yet. It only has the Vista
system on it - no data.

Have slowly worked my way thru the install windows and am at the window that lists 3 current partitions (?) sizes 
 
/dev/sda/
                                        Size                      Used

  /dev/sda1      ntfs        17179  MB            10300MB
  /dev/sda2      ntfs        151444MB            27900MB
  /dev/sda3      ntfs        151445MB            3200MB


I selected the third one and clicked "Edit the Partition" which gave me this screen---

Edit a Partition
New partition size in megabytes         151145

Use as:  EXT 3 Journaling file system
              EXT 2 File System
              ReiserFS journaling file system
              JFS   journaling file system
              XFS  journaling file system
              FAT 16 file system
              FAT 32 file system
              NTFS
              Swap area
              Do not use the partition

Then the question - Format the partition ?
and the question-  Mount Point - with some hidden options
