andsome Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yet another instance where a separate plug in hard drive with a mirror image in ACRONIS or similar would have saved the day. Once you are sorted, I would advise this step.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are sorted, I would advise this step.:)An external HD is next on my list of PC accouterments.I should have done this long ago.I have about 100 DVDs of backups and at around $1 apiece-well,we can all do that math.I'm sure I could reimage in a fraction of the time with the ext HD.much more versatile as well.I was going to pick one up a couple of days ago but the wife needed wanted new shoes."All's fair in Love and War" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
