I have an old gateway computer with an intel pentium 2, also, a cd burner and a old place for floppies.  What is the best way to back up  your photos, so I can free up some memory on my computer?  Also wk with Windows XP.

use the cd burner, but cd as my experience is not very reliable unless you verify the files after burn, and keeping them real good.\nup load them to a photo web site, if you have hi-speed connection, backup on 1 hand, sharing on the other, try these free sites\nhttp://www.photobucket.com/\nhttp://www.streamload.com

You can correct your camera to a USB port and then  a board will come and it will ask if you want to use the download wizard for photos. highlight it and click ok and it should download the photos to my photos.\n\nCheck on photos and move them to your cd write drive and burn them there.\n\nDB

sorry my dear, in this way u,ll lose ur data as its not a proper way of back up.\n if u want a backup of this windows u have to use GHOST software and creat a backup file and save it into ur D:/ drive, and than install ur windows again, so u will lose the data and updates softwares.but if now u want to get back ur previous winodws than u ca use the GHOST`s backup tahts saved in D:/ drive, it will restore ur hole winodws to the previous state.

Well, it won't be in the trash bin because it recycles to the hard drive, so unless you want to waste 200 bucks taking it to a technician that will merely use high-tech equipment to restore it, I suggest you just don't bother.\n\nBesides, clearing your history can be good, the less space used on your computer the better!

I can recommend you Acronis True Image backup software. It's a very reliable program with friendly interface that will execute your backup task easily. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/

backing up is a very important part of your computer day,theres nothing worse than having 20gb of precious data,photos,letters and forms and then suddenly your hard drive fails and you lose it all\n      all it takes is 10 minutes at the end of the day and all this can be avoided\n      you can back up many ways,one way is to use the windows based back up ,go to start>programs>accesories>system tools>back up>then follow the back up wizard to do your task,however this is pretty basic and is limited in its options\n      you can download or buy 3rd party software for backing up.go to http://www.download.com/3150-2242_4-0-1-0.html?qt=&author=&titlename=&desc=&dlcount=&daysback=&swlink=&gfiletype=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca=,and look through all the free back up software,read the user reveiws first so you dont download any rubbish\n      once you have decided which program you are going to use then to back up you first need to select the file(s) you need to back up,then select what typr of back up you want to do,then finally the destination for the back up(many users have external hard drives which they use to secure their data,but a very good way is to send them to removable media(cd/dvd-roms) this way they are saved forever and you can index them for easy access\n       many burning programs such as nero or roxio have back up options in them and these are ideal for backing up to cd/dvd-roms\n       the length of time it takes to back up is dependant on the amount of data you are using,it also depends on a) the type of hard drive(ata,sata,external)  and b)your p.c,s speed(ram,cpu speed),but a 1gb file would take about 2-3 minutes to back up\n        take it from me,set up a program for backing up,as you will thank me one day when your drive fails,and you have all your data safe on a dvd or on a hdd\n        good luck

You can get flash drives i would get the 4 ot 8 MB depending on how much data you have on your computer but those tend to be a little expencive but they are worth it. Also you could use CD's

well, you can back them up if you'll create a album from yahoo, just go to photos.yahoo.com create a photo album.

Hmm, i think it's a dead end. Buy a new hard drive and do not buy Dell PCs next time, they are ready to blow up. Or try booting up in a few days, there may still be miracles. If so, quickly backup all data .

Winrar is good product to use!!\nThere is product u can compress from 2GB to 10mb...just like u said!!!\n\nIt's called "KGB Archiver".  This is one most superme compression i ever know..u can compress from GB to MB or maybe KB!!!\n\nHowever, it takes a lot of time to compress it\nFor example, if u have 2GB software, u want to compress into 2mb...it at least 30 hrs to do it....it depends on ur system...(the better system u have, the less time u will have to wait)\n\nThe KGB system will take 90% of ram to do it!!!\n\nif u have slower system, it might take u a month or even year to compresss from 2GB to 2MB!!!\n\nDonwload and Description here:\n\nhttp://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/

Well, without a cd burner you are not going able to get anything onto a cd. So... lets go the next best route. Get a usb hard drive, and put everything on that and then you can keep it on that or dump it onto the new computer. But without a cd burner, you cant get anything onto a cd.\n\n-------\nA usb hard drive will cost you around anywhere to 60 to 100 bucks, now depending on how large your photos are you might be able to get them onto like a flash drive then can get up to 2 gigs and a lil higher but still run you around at least 40 bucks and up.\n\ngood luck

As a serious tip, if you need more disk space, delete things, or buy a new hard drive.  The 'compress old files' is a terribly implemented feature in Windows XP.  I recommend not using it.

That's a shame you deleted them.  I have Picture it!, but I don't know what you mean by the blue square.  As long as all the photos were checked, they will download.  Once downloaded, they will each appear as you choose.  You can open them all at once.  I don't know what you are going through.  Make yourself clearer, because I'm sure once I know exactly what you mean, I'll be able to assist.  Is each box shaded in light blue with a ripped square? You know caddie-corner?  That means you aren't going to recover the photos, because they were corrupted for some reason.  Once that occurs, you're s**t-out-of-luck.  Unfortunately, I've lost some great photos that way, and I will never be able to recover them.  I have those files saved, so when we come up with the technology to pull rabbits out of hats, I'll be able to get my great photos back.  Like freezing a dead person for the future, to bring them back when we gain the technology.  Only they're only photos.

The best thing to do is buy a new computer since you can get them so cheap right now. That processor (celeron 333) is very slow, so even upgrading the memory (ram) may help a tiny bit, but it can only go so fast. \n\nYou probably don't have a cd-rw in that old computer right? Probably a cd drive and floppy? To transfer files I would first start by signing up to a free photo sharing program (www.photobucket.com) and uploading as many pictures as possible! Save anything you don't want to lose that is small enough on floppies (unles you do have a cdrw then it's much easier, just put everything on there).\n\nWrite a list of all the programs you use on your start menu. This is important so you know the names of everything you want to replace. If there are games you installed or other programs from cd, find the original disks.\n\nAnother thing I found helpful when transferring was to find a website you can load your files to or emailing them to yourself online so you don't lose the important ones.\n\nThere are other ways of transferring data (networking the computers, buying the software that transfers everything over with a click) that you might want to look into also. You can also pick up a thumb drive that will fit in your usb port to back up to that might be easy for around $50.

"All I want to do is burn all my huge video files" \na)Any friend have a a External USB Hard drive? to backup all the stuff.\nb) Purchase a External USB enclousure and insert your hard drive to enable it USB. then do a backup.\nc) Puchase a External USB enclousure and put the DVD burner in it, to do backups with your friends. There a lot of cheaper items on the web.
