Thanks all that replied. I have just finished getting all my web pages together from the show this weekend, and loaded up on the site. I have made sure all my photos, downloaded drivers and some important documents are on the externals.
I;ll try Doug's idea first. Just one more question before i turn it off. If i cannot boot up at all, can i still get some one to install a new HD and load up my XP etc, then have the new C drive read the old drive, say as D drive or what ever, or is it fails am i toast. A few programs on the existing C that i might have trouble reloading, IYKWIM Dave -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ Ontario Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
