Ok...by now u know my PC is cursed as u can see my regular posting in this forum : but thankfully i have no problem since i've got my PC reinstalled just the sound driver prob! Anyways now for what i've created this thread> I have nearly 1gb of songs which are my most fave...(used to have 3gb but lost ) now due to my previous bad xp wid my computer i'm afraid, what if i lose this remaining 1gb. How do i save this 1gb sumwhere so that if my pc goes mad again,but my songs would would be safe and i can get em back!...a nice option is burning all on CDs..but i have no money left for buying a cd writer after i bought a branded extra ram for this PC which costed me 3k excluding some repairs! : i know i sound silly : but im a desperate music lover and if ur too..then u'll know how much it hurts to lose ur hard earned collection and i've already faced it twice! :shock: what should i do?..any possible way to keep this 1 gb safe? :help: sumwhere sumhow! :think: any whacky/silly/useful/rubbish suggestions welcomed if u think they might help :nw:
Hey vini, keep those songs in a drive where the OS is not installed... e.g. if ur OS is installed in the C:\ drive keep those songs in D or E drive. In this way if u have to reinstall the OS or for that matter format the C drive and reinstall the OS again , u wont loose the data in other drives....
^^true... put ur songs in the drive other than ur OS.. so that when u re-install ur PC u can have all ur songs safe... by formatting ur OS u wont loose any of ur data in the other drives..
if u hav 1 partition in ur hard drive.... then get a another partition made by a PC shop or wateva....like if u got only drive C (where da OS is installed) get another drive partition made like D.... then get ur songs copied over there... which wud b pretty safe...even if the windows gets corrputed...n u havto reinstall the OS...
yeah, u shd have 2 partitions atleas, which i think u do have... but dunt partition it urself.. i did partiton on my own abt a month back when i was installing linux..and galati se i lost all my data...40Gb..everythings gone.. so better u call one pro... good luck..(allthough it wont work..... )....
Well u can partition ur harddisk even if u r a novice and without any loss of data ..just get a partitioning software to do that ...like Partition Magic .. here is the link ...https://www.soft32.com/download_151.html ... but yeah dont blame me if sumthing wrong happens okey
best thing..copy the songs on ur frnd ka pc.....after ur pc gets fine,re copy them frm his disk...simple........
cd writers are cheap....u get for 1100 rs...that too decent ones.. if u cant afford that get a friends HDD and tranfer ur songs there. or get a friends cd writer and burn the songs there damn ur lucky...i had 30Gbs...now I got just 4.5 :cry1: and have to rely on udhari :Worried:
yup....just visit some popular hardware mart (try not entering shops with loads of eye candy....avoid shops with AC. they tend to charge more : )....insist on a bill the LG and Samsung ones are pretty cheap.
can anyone help me in recovering my lost data ? i unpartitioned my harddrive and then partitioned it again but lost the data is there any other way to get it back ?
there's a software called "data recovery". ok i wud say but gets ur data back to some good extent if it wasn't deletd much earlier or if u hvnt overridden ur HDD plates with new data many a times. @vini, cd writer is good idea but ipod is better choice. i mean it's a bit expensive but 1 gigs for 4k is not bad. so u hv portable songs all the time + 1 gb drive. :beer:
