    Indeed
  4. New computer. Have a question. I have 2TB of storage divided up into :

    C: 500GB

    D : 1TB

    E : 500GB

    What I want to know is can I isolate one of these from Windows to use purely as a back up. IE, if I have a crash I can still retrieve everything from one of the other drives? Ideally i'll just load everything onto C and then copy it in D or E so in the event of a crash I lose C i'll still have everything on one of the other drives.

    So in simple terms, what drive should I use for backup?
  5. The usual thing is using the biggest partition (in your case, the 1TB one) for back-up -ing the info, and the other(s) for daily use. I can't see the point in three partitions though, maybe someone can give your further details. But I'd use the 1TB as possible back-up drive.
  6. Just succesfully put a modchip in my Wii, glad it works

    If you're running Windows (as far as I know) any partition will be suitable since in the event of C: being wiped, the partitions don't get touched. I use my D: partition for backup and have re-installed Windows a few times (not due to a system crash though) and each time all my data on D: has been left intact.

    Ideally, go for the largest since it'd back the most up.

    Could use three for various reasons I suppose. Media on one drive/partition and personal files encrypted/private on the other. All down to the end user really.

    Not sure if there's a technical reasoning behind three partitions however.

    Windows 7 indeed. I'll use the 1TB D drive then and hope for the best. Too much storage on board to go and buy another external drive to back up on.
  9. What does the modchip do Remy?

    Some very good reviews, downside is the large size and weight. Superb sound quality though.

    Got the earphones this morning. Played U2, Snow Patrol some dancy stuff and now Coldplay with them and they're just great. Compared with the Sennheiser CX300 it offers much better handling of bass and treble with crystal clear acoustics.

    Worth my money, hope they last longer than Sennheisers 2.5 year.

    Windows backup for the smallest, documents and photos for another and your personal files (e.g. downloads, recordings, video edits etc) for the last.

    Three is a bit excessive though - I'd have gone two, one for personal and one for private system backup.
  12. the 3 partitions was the default setup.
