trials_pimp Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Right Im removing all the files I want to keep from My Computer onto DVD so I can Format Both My Hard Drives and Start over again.Ive managed to get almost everything onto DVDs so its in catagories and Things are kept together.The Problem I face is that I have 26 GB of Music that I want to save, but id rather not use up loads of my discs burning it on seperate discs.Is there some way of saving all this music without wasting alot of DVDs, or loosing anything.Also I cant buy a large memory card/stick or external Hard drive or something of the sort (no cash)thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it to disk mode and copy it all over onto that... Got a home network? Send it to another computer on the networkA friend got an external drive you could use for a day or 2? Sorted.Other than that I think it's a case of the DVDs if you aren't able to spend any cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm guessing you have one main and one slave drive?Move everything from the slave onto the main that you want to keep, then reformat the slave and put everything you want to keep from the main onto the slave (along with the stuff you moved from the slave to the main before you formated it), disconnect the slave for safety, format the main and reinstall the OS, then when you boot up you'll have two formatted hard drives with everything you want to keep on the slave drive.

eskimo Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you don't know anyone with a large Ipod to borrow, try borrowing someone's Xbox or PS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
