I think we'll accept a few posts from you that aren't trivia related, though I do enjoy the articles. Best of luck!

Next time, you may want to think about getting an external enclosure and HD from somewhere like tigerdirect. Doesn't matter if you get a 2.5" one for laptop hard drives or a 3.5" for the larger desktop drives. Just buy the right hard drive for it! Both work the same as backups for your stuff.

All you do is buy the enclosure, (I got a Nexstar 3 with case and cable) for 20 bucks. Then buy the appropriate sized hard drive you want. I bought an 80 GB, 2.5" Western Digital hard drive for around 70 bucks. Smaller ones are much cheaper. Buy small I mean 20-30 GB.

You simply take two screws out of the enclosure, slip the circuit board out, push the hard drive into the pins on the circuit board and bolt it down, slide back into enclosure, replace the two fronts screws. Then, plug in the mini USB to it. The other end is double USBs that you can plug into a laptop or desktop. You plug both of them in. One's for power. One's for data transfer.
Requires a little setting up to begin with but very easy. I instantly had 80 GB of extra storage space and I backed up my whole computer onto it. All pictures (thousands), files, music, and whatever. Only used 5 GB out of 80.
It's very reassuring having it and also really handy because you can take it to somebody's house or to work, plug it in and just drag and drop stuff from it on to other desktops or vise versa.

You might want to consider buying an external hard drive for backup. Saving a backup is Computer Basics 101. I have learned from bitter experience to always have a backup of important files.

Hello Don:

The articles I lost were future ones I had saved on my Word Processor. I never kept any Trivia Article after Posting it.

Thanks for the advice though, as it is "truth in Article writing!"

Hi Clinker.
If the drive didn't crash everything should still be there.
You can pop it out and put it in a different PC.
Just a thought.
