I need help backing up my original HD, PLEASE!!!

[devilsminion]

Ok, so now after several weeks of questions and thought I sit with a 120G hd 7200 rpm hd, a xecutor 2 lite a crossover cable and the evox dash and other software needed for the ftp process however here is my question.

Please keep in mind I am learning this as I go. Quall has an excellent tutorial but I have yet to find a tutorial that will help me back up my XBox HD and how to format the new one?

I am sorry if this is a dumb question but I am learning as fast as I can and really appreciate any help you can give.
