Greetings:
Hope I'm explaining this lucently.
I'm on the verge of buying a 20 gig TravelStar HD for my PB
190. I'll be loading it with the 1.2 gigs of (finally) unStuffed
files currently on my 6320 as well as its backup.
Since I'll have all that virgin space, I'm thinking of
duplicating all those primary files again in a "backup folder" on the
HD. My question is this: If my "backup folder" is located on a
separate platter of its own within the hard drive, is my date safe in
the event of a bad crash? In other words, does a hard disk crash
affect ALL the platters in a hard drive, and if not, then it's safe
to use a hard drive as its own backup to forgo buying a separate CD
or Zip drive?
Thanks!
JimWG
