Hi all,
just wanted to throw my two cents out there, and I truly hope that you get your computer running properly.
Just one little thing I'd like to bring to everyone's attention, where it is a good thing to back up your system, and your files, and when you originally purchase your computer to make the DVDs so you can restore your computer to factory specs, are all very important and is very, very necessary.
Okay my two cents, but I do is I go out and buy another hard drive, make an exact duplicate of the hard drive that is in my computer, when I know my computer is running good.
If anything happens to my hard drive. No matter what happens, even if the hard drive itself just stops running. I know that all I have to do is go over to the shelf. Take the hard drive that I made a backup onto login into my computer and now I can restore my computer to to exactly where it was running good.
I do this because I have hundreds of dollars worth of software that in order to be able to reload on the my computer. I have to deactivate the code just like ultra Hal.
So it is a lot easier for me to just take another hard drive and put it into my computer, plug it in, and Yahoo I is up and running perfectly.
Now let's say it wasn't anything to do with my hard drive but say was a piece of software I downloaded and that was what was causing all the problems.
That's okay. I just take my hard drive. Off the shelf stick it into my computer and it's running good from when I last made a backup. Take hard drive that had the bad program on it that I did not like or was not running properly format it and make a copy of the hard drive that I just stuck into my computer.
Since I been doing this it has resolved all my problems and all my headaches with my computer. Some my think it's a little expensive spending $100 a hard drive but when I look at the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that are spent on software not to mention all the time that I spend teaching, ultra Hal, playing my games where I last left off, all that data is gone because of a hard drive crash. I found that it is a lot more cheaper to just spend $100 on another 500 meg hard drive for my computer and no more headaches no more hundreds of hours reloading all my software re-updating Windows getting my windows to be exactly the way I like it hours and hours and hours of massive work, resolved with a 30 min. hard drive changeover.
I am so serious about this procedure that I have three hard drives on my shelf that I rotate, every month I make a new backup of my entire system.
I used to just backup my data but with the software that they have out there. It used to take about two hours, but the way that I do it now. I can make a complete duplicate of my hard drive in about 40 min. or less, and I don't even need to open up my computer, all I did was run a power cable out the back and a hard drive plug-in cable from the motherboard out the back of the computer case. So all I have to do is plug in the power supply and the hard drive cable and now it's just like a hard drive that is in my compute, without being in my computer.
Sincerely, and I hope I helped some small way.
C load.
