Who would have known.....
Thanks for the advice - had to look up the GFS and Hanoi.
I'll have to invest in a large external hard drive and learn how to make back-up cd's I guess.
So $12 for a 32gb flash drive is pushing my luck then?
Years back in China, they were selling what showed on a computer to be 8gb sticks. Bought a few, but then when you tried to safe data on them, they would hold only a few Word documents. Go figure....
I found a place online that appears to be on the up and up and will recover data (they say) for about $200. But who really knows?? Haven't researched much as of yet.
