ive now created a new partition on my hdd to put stuff on when i format to save discs/risk of losing, etc.. i know if my whole pc f**ks up im screwed but the files arnt that important. you sound like quite a music fan so deffo get an external hdd
I have 3 drives, c:, d: and e:.
c: and d: are partitions on my main 200 gb Maxtor and e: is the entire 250 gb Maxtor I have.
c: (50 gb) is my main partiton where I have windows and all my programs installed.
d: (150 gb) is my storage for my music
e: (250 gb) this is my backup drive, I have everything backed up on it and I have a whole load of movies and other kinds of files on there I have downloaded.
And just for good measure, I have everything backed up on DVD's too.
yeah, join the club, my ipod had all my music (ripped, and aquired through methods of questionable legality) but i was usin it as a hdd for music, got erased, did a simple recover, and most of its back
This was my fault and not the drives fault lol. I frequently backup stuff, however i cleared the backup drive in order to backup the new files. However i didnt copy everything.
All music and non adult images are supposed to be stored on a NAS
Games and programs are never backed up
Other images are supposed to be (and are) on a USB hard drive at all times.
