Simon.
I got tired of losing stuff due to failed HDD's.
Now I use two HDD's in the PC.
Drive C takes care of the normal working activity such as, internet,
anti virus etc.
Drive D, I use for storage and since adapting this method I have not lost
anything saved even tho Drive C HDD has **** itself twice already.
I also periodicaly download large chunks from drive D to DVD to play safe !
Cheers.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comThanks to Inc who shipped a drive from Caboolture yesterday, I have a brand new 250 Gb HDD in the PC and I'm currently installing Windows.
Thanks Dave, great service from you and Australia Post to get a HDD over 1000km overnight.
Hmm, I'm wondering whether to fit an old drive I have in as Drive C and installing Windows on it.

good to see another happy customer ...
the old drive would slow the box down heaps as the bus steps down to the speed of the slowest drive on most motherboards...

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comThanks Dave. I won't install XP on an old drive.
MS is now telling me that XP has been installed too many times - I'll have to talk to one of their support people.
One problem has been that the XP I have doesn't support drives bigger than 137Gb so I'll download the Service Packs to see if that helps. Thje BIOS recognises it's a 250 Gb drive.

My Computer is a W98 its running a 1.1G Drive at the moment it sits on 100mb of free space. A kid gave me a 10G hard drive for free before he moved away and ive lost it while we were moving i wish i hadnt because now downloads are impossible with a little over 100mb and if it drops to 50mb it crashes, freezes or just doesnt go

Put the HDD in a sealed bag and place it in the freezer over night. When you pull it out put it strait in the computer and see what it does. If your lucky you will have time to retreive some or all of the data. Depends on what has failed.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI've called my wife and asked to put the drive in an anti-static bag and thence into the freezer. We'll see what happens. The drive is not spinning up.

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI've got a 540 Mb drive you can have if you like. I gave my spare bigger drives to my son (they weren't very big - only about 10Gb)
