| 631721 | 2008-01-19 03:06:00 | I'm fixing to wipe my hard drive, what's a good way to save my data? Doing it by email will take too long, and I can't figure out how to save anything on a cd. thank you. |

| 631722 | 2008-01-19 03:24:00 | And WHAT do you want to save ?? Just docs / emails? ?? You'll have to reinstall programs that have been installed. |

| 631723 | 2008-01-19 03:25:00 | A much easier way is to copy all your data to a flash drive or portable hard drive and copy it back once your pc has been reformatted. How much data do you have in terms of size. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 631724 | 2008-01-19 03:31:00 | And WHAT do you want to save ?? Just docs / emails? ?? You'll have to reinstall programs that have been installed. I plan to use dban. What I want to save is mostly pics, some docs., but thats it for the most part. I also need to save whatever programs I need to re-install after I wipe my hard drive. |

| 631727 | 2008-01-19 04:42:00 | Before you wipe your hard drive, here are a few things to remember to backup :) * Your "My Documents folder" * Emails * Address book * Favorites or bookmarks * Cookies (if you want) etc... See this FAQ: faqf1.net.nz on other thing you should backup before you wipe your hard drive. Good luck |

| 631728 | 2008-01-19 05:11:00 | You can also back up online (maybe as a 2ndry measure). There are a few free photo ones like as drop.io (drop.io/) and mediafire (http:), your own isp, and larger free sites like idrive (http://www.idrive.com/)... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

It needs it anyways, its ridicously slow . Hey its what you get for going with PC . |
