I would suggest a Maxtor or Seagate brand.\nCheck out Pricewatch.com for low prices.

How about Buslink 8GB starting around $750? Just kidding.\n\nSeriously I had Lexar drives for years and have dropped, stepped on and used on hundreds of computers both PCs and Macs without fail.\n\nI switched to the Lexar 2GB JumpDrive Lightning as it was slimmer and fit easily into slots that my Lexar 1GB JD Secure wouldn't fit into. Gave the 1GB drive to my nephew.\n\nA 2005 review, including mine(scored IX or a 9 out of 10) are in the source below.

usb, its probably easier too

USB flash drives are small (think keychain size) devices that contain  up 4gigabytes of memory. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that WinMe supports them. (you could dig on Microsoft.com, but support for Me is pretty limited.)\n\nThere are programs (Acronis True Image, Symantec Ghost, etc) that back up everything, but they require WinXP (or Vista).\n\nWinMe had a backup program (on the original CD), but I don't know anyting about it. Knowing Microsoft, it was probably pretty rudimentary.\n\nYou could back things up by burning the all of the files to CD. Two problems : 1) it'll probably take more than one CD and "splitting" can be difficult. 2) restoring the backup will be slow & difficult.\n\nSorry, but I can't see an easy solution for you.

You can buy 800mb CD-r ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/TDK-90min-jewel-storage-media/dp/B0000YHFCC ), they cost more than the standard 700mb one's, but still cheaper than DVD+-r's.\n\nAnswers to your questions:\n\nQuestion 1: Standard is 700mb's (but you can get up to 800mb's)\nQuestion 2: No, see above you can get 800mb one's\nQuestion 3: It depends what size you decide to buy (700mb-800mb)\n\nAdditonal info:  Another way to increase the amount of data on a disc is to compress the files via a zip utility (a free one is zipgenuis, or use windows built in one).  This reduces the amount of space the files need.  For example you have 1gb of data, by compressing (zipping) certain files you can "condense" the files into a smaller space, then burn them onto the CD, so you'll have the equivalant of 1gb worth of data zipped to take approx 700mb of disc space.  Please note that certain files can't be compress and other types of files can be compress up to 90% (approx).\n\nHope this helps.

If your not taking that info anywhere, a hard drive (in case you didn't know, a hard drive stays in your computer at all times, and they usually have massive storage capacity, especially for what your doing just get the one with the lowest GB's!  They also write data and read data very quickly) + a cd ROM drive will be fine.  This will be fine even if you are moving data computer to computer with a flash drive.  USB flash drives are cheap and ubiquitous today.  It's quicker to write and retrieve and they are portable too, they can fit on a keyring, pocket, wrist, swiss army knife, etc...  Just make sure the computer has a easily accessible usb port, like in the front or on the monitor because reaching behind a computer, especially one that isn't yours, to plug something in is a little awkward.\n\nA regular cd burner will work too.  They are pretty cheap too.  CD-R... means it's record able - once.  You will need a CD-RW disc to burn over and over again.  When buying you got dozens of vendors making these discs, but they all usually work fine.  Music vs. Data CD-R discs:  not much difference, you can burn music to a data disc and data to a music disc.  Usually the biggest difference is price, because a portion goes back to the record labels (I think).  Speed - doesn't really matter, they burn in under 3 minutes so anything over 40x is fine.  Get a cd burner: to backup your data, backup your audio/regular cds (music to your software) in case your originals get damaged.\n\nFor future considerations, I recommend a DVD burner DVD burners are cheap.  Don't pay more then $60 when building it from a vendor, buy it from someone else and install it yourself.  They will do everything a CD Rom/burner drive does.  Actually maybe get one regular cd rom drive and dvd burner.  You can watch movies, burn copies of home movies, BACKUP (so can a dvd burner but you can fit alot more on a dvd disc.) your data to dvd disk in case (good chance) your hard drive fails.

My memorex cd says it will hold 700 MB or 80 minutes of music.

Removable storage device; this term is related to computer storage. CD-ROM and USB Flash Drives and USB Hard Disks are devices which falls in this category. \n\nThe best thing with these devices is they are portable and plug and play in nature.\n\nGood Luck

USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. Memory capacity typically ranges from 128 megabytes up to 64 gigabytes [1], limited only by current flash memory densities, although cost per megabyte increases rapidly at higher capacities due to the expensive components. For example, as of October 2006, flash drives were available in retail stores at US$25 for 512MiB, US$35 for 1GiB, US$60 for 2GiB, US$100 for 4GiB, and US$160 for 8GiB. [citation needed]\n\n///

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

Why would you....you can buy a USB 1GB flash drive for $29.00

You will run out of room in about 2 years. Get a 120G or higher now. \n\nI have over 2500 MP3's and tons of programs on my 120G, and it's just over half full.\n\nDon't forget to make frequent backup's of all your stuff. Hard drives do crash. \n\nI've created a folder just for stuff I want to keep. Every month my stuff (Outlook info, address book, etc.) gets backed-up to this folder. Every six months I burn this folder to several DVD-RW's. I use RW's so I can rotate them.

Well, why don't you back up all your files to a flashdrive or CD.\nThen format your drive and reload Windows.. But if you do reload why in your right mind would you want to place 98 on when WIN 2000 or XP is the way to go?\n\nIf FOR some reason you can't backup your data to another drive or CD, you can reinstall Windows on top of itself and you will not lose any of the data on the drive.

I have seen some models with 60Gb/100Gb IDE drives.  The 60Gb disks were 4200RPM.  Most likely to be 2.5" disk drives.\n\nHowever, if you want higher storage capacity then try external hard disk drives.  These can plug into the USB ports. You have the option of using either 2.5" disk drives(expensive) or 3.5" disk drives(cheaper, used in desktops).  You can have upto 200/250Gb or even 400Gb depending on your budget.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk

If you have a CD or DVD burner and Windows XP, you can just drag and drop them onto your CD/DVD drive and then burn them that way.  If you don't have XP, you'll probably need a third party program like Nero to create a data CD or DVD.\n\nIf you're using CDs, you'll need 2 (each holds 650 MB, and you have 1500 MB, if I'm reading your numbers above correctly).  If you're using a DVD, you only need one - they hold 4.7 GB, although there are other DVDs (dual layer, double sided, etc.) that will hold more than 4.7 GB.

A Floppy disk (I'm assuming you're talking about a 3.5", not a 5.25"?) holds 1.4 Mb of data. So mainly, it's for holding basic word files, HTML, etc. To lock a Floppy disk from being written on, there is a physical switch which must be flipped on the disk. This prevents the shutter from opening.\n\nA CD holds between 650 and 800 Mb, depending on the brand and if they are newer CDs. A CD can be formatted either as an audio CD, holding between 74 and 80 minutes worth of audio, or a data disk, holding the amounts listed above. When a CD is created or "burned", it has to be formatted to either allow to have more data placed on it, or to be locked (no more data can be saved to it).\n\nThe exception is a CD-RW, where you can access and save data on the disk an unlimited number of times.\n\nFloppy disks are suseptable to being erased when placed in a magnetic field.\n\nCDs may become damaged if exposed to direct sunlight. Also, certain cleaners can damage the disk, and scratches to the disk surface may render it unusable
