Back-up-disking..

[Ginevive]

I just wanted to advise anyone and everyone; if you have important files or photos on your computer, please back them up. I lost a ton of photos from our computer (we are getting a free restore disk from HP, but it still won't bring them back.) Luckily, I use Photobucket and another photh gallery, so I can just re-download them, but I just thought I'd recommend this..

It's always good to be reminded of this from time to time.

....you don't have to lose them. Unless the hard drive itself is dead you can pop your drive into someone else's computer as a slave drive and salvage the files if they are not corrupt.



However making DVD archives of your data is a good idea also.
