LOST

[Abitaman]

Just got my computer back this week, motherboard problems. Running as good as ever. but while I ahve been putting programs back on I noticed I had lost the cds or did not backed up all My Zepplin and All my Robert Plant cds., Toto, and Def Leppard. Already worked out a trade on the Zepplins official releases and boots and some Plant boots, plus for all the Toto. But still looking for all the Plant official releases I lost and all the Def Leppard official and boots I had.
Anyone that is willing to help out, send me your list of what you have and I will email you back a list of what I have of all my cds, so maybe we can work out a trade.
Thanks for any help I get-ERIC

Email me at abitaman205@yahoo.com and I'll send a list of what I am missing and what cds and dvds I have for trade.

My computer is less than a year old, didn't think of it to be truthful. This computer has a hard drive slot that you can slip an external into. As soon as I get out of school (end of June) maybe I'll have the extra money to pick one up. Been backing stuff up on to dvds. Guess I missed copying them -ERIC Had a computer back up, that half of this on it, but when they put on the new motherboard, they put new software and all that new goodies on it, so I would lose all that if I was to redo my computer.

I'm guessing you have a HP then if it has that slot. Many f their models have them now, BUT... I'd still recommend a complete seperate External Drive. When it's NOT in use, make sure it's Unplugged from the power as well as the USB. Any surges or whatever, it won't be affected

When I download boots to my computer, I burn them right away to cd. I do two burns, one that I use, and one as a backup if something happens to my first one. I never, ever, keep my boots on my computer.

I usually do, but what I was doing here was taking them off the cd (to sell on ebay) and burn them on the computer, then I was going to burn on to DVD in wma format. Just put the last one on computer and then BOOM!!!-ERIC
