SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!! Over the past couple of weeks I have had really bad computer problems, resulting in me literally starting from scratch again with a new system, so that means I have virtually lost everything I had on here in the way of music files mainly!! Previously I had WinMX for searching and music downloading, but I was told that WinMX was a prime carrier of viruses and spam.
Anyway, can anyone recommend to me a good downloading programme?? I have no idea where 2 start in getting all my music back!! | |

Kazaa...try to find the "lite" version. otherwise you'll get a lotta crap and spyware etc. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

I have had an absolute nightmare!! My D Drive broke down so I couldnt log on and it was murder trying 2 find a computer tech place open during the Christmas week, but I managed 2 get some help and this guy had 2 rip out my D drive and make my existing C Drive, the D drive and then put in a second hand C Drive, but this one was corrupted with a few viruses, which resulted in me having 2 start off completely afresh again!! | |

so sorry. that's HORRIBLE. You should be really careful when DL stuff...as spyware and viruses can be downloaded with your Gwen Stefani tune. It's why I mentioned kazaa lite. it works but keeps that crap to a minimum. And get good virus protection. I found out last night it's only like 20 - 25 buck for a years worth of protection. That is SO worth it. Good luck with your new puter. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

1. Download KaZaa
2. From KaZaa download Partition Magic 3. Create at 3 partitions on your hard drive: c:\ 3 gig root NTFS d:\ 2 gig ghost FAT32 e:\ 2 gig page NTFS f:\ data (the rest of your drive) NTFS Note: Partition magic will allow U to do it visually 4. Move your page file (virtual memory) from c:\ to e:\ This will prevent your pagefile from sherdding your root partiion, slowing down yoru system, and competing with system files. 5. Install all your programs and files to f:\ SO, if you reimage your system, you wont lose any data 6. download Norton Ghost ghost your c:\ partition to an .gho file on d:\ once you've installed the programs you KNOW will not change in versions that often. The process of setting all this up takes between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on what you put into it, but when shit hits the fan, you can restore your life in less than a half hour. I blow my PC away about every month becuase I fool with it so much, and it no longer kills me to get back tot he point where I need to be. | |

one word.....
BACKUP!!!!! Let this serve as a lesson - make backups of data you cant afford to lose! Use some of the many hours you spend in front of the PC to back your data up - you can use a myriad of methods such as CD-R / RW DVD-R /RW xdrive / spare hard drives etc etc but make sure you back it up. Its not a question of "if" your hardware will fail - its "WHEN" If data is so precious that you can't afford to lose it - then back it up!!! | |
