It's not likely that you'll ever find the old Low Density disks. Some stores still sell the HD variety, but the LD's passed in to oblivion. I would suggest you look at places that might sell old computers. When I needed an old old replacement pc part, I found what I needed at Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. Garage sales sometimes will have some. At anyrate, the HD disks will work in LD drives. So I wouldn't really concern yourself in finding the LD disks, which would mean I just wasted a lot of time explaining all of this you.

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.\nSome hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

If you want them for free, that would be hard to find. Most websites that you can use for backup will not give up that much memory for free.\n\nI used to use http://www.xdrive.com when it was free. Theres also http://www.mynetstorage.com\n\nThey go only up to 5 GB though. I think its better if you just get your own server that will hold 200 GB of data. Not even computers these days come with 200GB of data, so I dont know any websites that will allocate that much space for their customers. I am not surprised that the ones you have found are for company tailored backups because only companies would have that much data to store and maintain.\n\nI would compress the files as much as I can before I start backing them up. Try and only backup things that you cant live without and compress them before you store them. It might save you on space.\n\nThis is an example of how much it would cost to store 200GB of data: http://www.b2netsolutions.com/file-hosting.htm\n\nIts definitely not cheap.

I don't know where you are but here in Houston I go to independent computer stores, ones that are owned by computer geeks.  I bought a 2 year old Dell refurbished by them for only 200.00.  They completely erase the hard drives before they sell them and then put the OS on them if you want it when you buy it.  So my suggestion would be an independent dealer.  You will never find one at a retailer, becuase they get paid by the software companies to promote their software.

Here are some thoughts:\n\n1. Hard drives have a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) bascially this means that they will fail within a certain time or at least produce bad sectors making some of your data unrecoverable(ish). One way to try to protect data on your PC is to have a RAIDED system that means 2 or more identical drives and hardware or software replicates the software across each drive so if one drive goes down you still have your data. This does not help if the PC goes on fire or gets water damaged, you should always have a seperate backup procedure.\n\n2. DVD's are a good way of backing up your data and I would say are a more reliable way of backing up rather than Hard disks but they are limited to 4.7GB (single sided). What I do is burn a backup every week or whenever I do a big change of data but this is dependant on the old saying "What happens if your Hard Disk died in 5 minutes would you miss any data on it" if yes do a daily Backup. 99% of IT companies only backup there data every day so backing up every few hours is a bit extreme but again if it is critical do a backup. Buy quality DVD's!\n\n3. USB memory sticks are pretty tough bits of kit and you can give them quite a bit of grief before they fail, USB sticks use memory chips rather than magnetic media like hard disks and tend to be a little bit more robust. They can get corrupted just like any other device.\n\n4. Zip disks are a bit old hat and have the same problem as floppy disks avoid avoid avoid! Trust me I have used them and relied too much on them and lost data cos of it.\n\n5. Tape backups (DDS3/4/DAT72) have a good capacity and alot of IT companies use this type of backup but again they are suseptable to corruption similar to floppy disks if kept for any length of time as they are magnetic media, expensive to maintain.\n\n6. SD/MMC cards are similar technology to USB memory sticks as they store the data on a chip(s) but do not normally have the capacity to store alot of data (1GB?) and are very easily lost/broken as they are so small.\n\n7. Online backups are an option but most are insecure and do you want people to have access to your data/photos etc. hmmmm\n\nI suppose there is no 100% safe way of backing up your data (and keeping it safe) but I have found DVD's to be pretty good (using quality DVD's with dark ink), I use DVD-RW as my data changes alot and there is no point in me keeping the old stuff but buy high quality DVD's as cheap and nasty DVD's tend to develop problems later in life.\nI have seen alot of testing done on USB sticks and they have been found to be very tough to break.\n\nIf you are serious about the data you can buy a small fire proof safe as well.\n\nJust my opinon and experience!

delete stuff you dont use. goto the control panel then add/remove programs and delete what you dont use. also try backing up pics and music on a dvd disc. also you can get another hard drive(turn it into a slave drive). goto newegg.com you can get a 200gb hdd for $100 or so

when you put a blank disk into the drive, a screen pops up that says...what would you like to do with this disk and it lists options.  I believe one of them is create a photo slideshow.

Check the link below.  I like Seagate and Western Digital.

The best thing to do with hard drives is prevent problems from occurring, rather than try to recover from problems after they occur.  You may want to look at Spinrite.

not easy, amatuer moves are dropping, freezing, but professional places go in a clean room, open it up, and move the discs to another drive and recover as much data as possible.  this is an expensive process and have to decide if what you want to recover is worth it or not.  data recovery places advertise in back of computer magazines or you can search the internet for data recovery services.
