i have a parition on my drive.. so when ever i need to do a re insall.. i just move everything onto my “back up drive” that i wanna keep and format C:
can only really do this if you got a big hard drive in the first place
12 April, 2005 at 12:08 am #108865yes, too true.. i have built up a massive collection of pictures… could’nt be losing them :(
i just need 4000 floopy discs and i’ll be alright :D
12 April, 2005 at 10:50 am #108866The best way to back up files, including all your piccies and music etc. is to buy an external hard drive.
A 120gb is only about £50, and the box another £20.
Just plug into a usb port, and start copying. (ok, a bit more to it, but the wizzard takes you through)
You don’t need to put windows on it.
No big piles of cd’s to be seen, just a neat looking silver box on your desk.
happy backing up peoples!12 April, 2005 at 9:52 pm #108867AVG found a virus in Norton SystemWorksNorton AntivirusQuarantineIncomingAPO.htm
LMAO, Next time try emptying the quarantine file in Norton AV, :lol: you’ll find it’s alot easier than a clean instal. :lol: Follow the directory path above which i have highlighted in red, and you will see why i’m laughing.
Norton had already found this worm and had quarantined it successfully, all you needed to do was to empty your Norton quarantine file and the worm would of been deleted.
Oh, and dont bother trying to use Norton in safe mode, try using Norton in diagnostic mode. Safe mode is good for removing nasties manually.
If you want to start your computer in safe mode, try logging on as system admin first.
