Well ...I Finally get around to saving up my pennies and getting me another Hard Drive for all my Vids and games and my ever growing collection of Mp3's . And so I get my HD installed .. hehehe .. a whopping 32o gigs ! YAY .. and my pc reads the whole drive so just to make sure I copy all my Vids ands games over .. and i keep copying till i fill the whole drive .. Which it does ..All with 3 gigs of free space. Well, then i delete what i copied and move some of my mp3's --my ROCK collection ..that's on my 2oo gig external.

AND that takes me all of 1 night .. so it finally completes the move and i shut down to Crash .Next day (sunday)  I get ready to turn on my PC and ...what do i notice ... my external won't open the drives.. after numerous attempts,unplugging,reboooting and Then some ill mannered curse words .(which still did no good) I just unplugged it. Well...come MOnday morning I wake up grab my external and come to work... So my hopes of getting it to work on my work PC are soon CRUSHED ..as it just won't happen..

And after this long boring story ... i get to the MAIN concern . The remainder of stuff on this external was my METAL mp3's almost 100 gigs worth ..

That is weird though.. those externals are so stable.. just a quick USB connection to a Windows XP system..

Weird...

That is SO painful.  I pray every night that my PC doesn't crash.

Computers suck. It's soooo annoying when it does that.

What you used to love now, you're gonna adore. With Charmin Ultra, less is more. Cha Cha Cha, Charmin.

I have a 160GB external hard drive device, but I only use if for backup purposes.

I have some "Synch" software...  I setup the program, to copy certain stuff to the external drive... and everytime after that, it just copies the changes over to the external drive.  It is pretty sweet.

The data includes, all my multimedia files, my music & all my web development and business stuff.

When I get home tonight, I'll try and find a link to the Synch software that I use.  It is a "beta" Microsoft product (which is free)...  Yes, it is beta, but it has been working for me.

I should probably move this to the "computing" forum...  Ok, I'm moving this topic.
