I got the old drive into the new machine at the expense of the CD-ROM drive; I think I should get a CD-RW to put in there anyway, just so I have some form of media to back up data to. I managed to get my mail program up and running with the addresses and all the old mail files, although I inadvertently installed a blank copy of the thing on the C drive in the process. The virus program was successfully reinstalled, also on the C drive, so now I have an outdated copy on the D drive. My old Office programs reside on the D drive, and every time I open the program (Excel or Word) I get "file missing" or "registry" errors; fortunately I can still access the old data files despite that. And apparently I have to reinstall the FTP program, although it worked just fine on the same drive it still resides on. Weird and unpleasant surprises abound.
I've had a lot of fun this week; how about you?
Posted by Linkmeister at June 13, 2003 09:12 PMI use my Zip Drive to back up stuff. Ever since my hard drive crashed.
Zips started out as 100mb, then 250mb(which mine is), and now it is up to 750mb. And the 750 does
not accept the 250.
But the 250 accepts the 100.
So when I save something, it automatically does to my zip drive. I don't have to think about it!!!
I felt very "nerdy" when I did that.. :-}
