computer locks up

Hi,
I'm using TI 8 build 826 on a windows me laptop. I'm attempting to create an image of my laptop (compaq w/ c and d drives) and save it over a network to a desktop (windows 98se).
I use the word attempt because all four attempts have ended with my computer freezing and a forced shut down.
I get to the screen that says: commit pending operations-- creating partition image.
On the 3rd try, even my computer clock froze. I've never seen that.
On the 4th try everything looked good, the little icon was blinking. But there was no progress in over an hour & the estimated 2 hours was still 2 hours.
When I attempted to cancel, my computer locked up.

Any help you can give will be appreciated. But I'm not all that computer savy so, please, speak slowly and use little words.

Thanks,
kc
