DVDs are the best way for music. CDs wouldn't hold much.\nUse Nero other other software that will make DVD data files.

check in dumpsters in buisness parks.  usually they just throw old computers and monitors away once they get new ones.

Your hard drive is shot.  You need another computer.

Of course, If you backed them up on your external one, just free your hard drive in your pc. I just do the same thing, I have my data protected out of pc on two external hard drives.

If u want to save and backup unsaved data then use 'hibernate' .\nIf u mean to backup specific data before shutdown.\nEither u may use 3rd party softwares (Go to download.com and search for such utilities. Choose that best suites ur purpose.) Or else u may choose to back it up at system startup or system logon. Windows own backup utility allows u to schedule backup on system startup.

Uh you could have a Partition Magic Back up disk to do the trick

well, you could certainly buy whatever you can afford. i would recommend an external usb drive, or you could burn it to disc... there are many ways...

USB External hard drives are very affordable and have the advantage of being portable. Another alternative is copying your data to a DVD(s). Then store them offsite in case of a fire or other disaster.

Hard reset.\nReformat the cpu and start over.\n(back up any documents you'd like).\n\nthat's the easiest, least ocmplicated way.

Boss, it is hard disk in case of PC. and memory sticks, also called cache memory that holds data even when power is off. this type of memory devices are called as non-volitile memory. now-a-days you are gitting cell phons with hard-disk that support upto 5GB of data storage

Anything you could do with a 256 mb hard drive.  Store files, use it for backup, whatever.  Just plug it in and it will appear on "my computer" as a removeable disk.  Just be careful to not unplug it when it's reading or writing data.  Most of them will have a light that will flash when it's being accessed.

Back up everything while you can. See if the drive is still under warranty and able to be replaced by the manufacturer, if not then buy a new one.

Put the notebook to in a dry place for 1 week..then\nTry to see if it starts up if not....then\nYou can buy external 2.5" HD caddy cases, so that you can take the Laptop harddrive out and put it in the caddy and connect to any computer with a USB port to transfer your data.\n\nCould be a costly repair job, if you've not got accident cover

Most likely you can remove the actual hard drive that's contained in it and connect it directly to the inside of your computer, depending on your computer model and configuration.

If you have room, get a desktop. You'll have more power and more memory in general, plus it won't fry if you drop some crumbs on it.
