It had to happen
Saturday, October 18, 2008 by Jimbo9294 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well it happened. My computer crashed on Tuesday. 
I will be doing the reinstalling thing today. 
I hope to be back up by Monday.

Five days, not bad at all for a rebuild!
How's it running now?
I can not get over how fast it is now.

I do it in one...usually.

I always figured “if it is not broken, don’t fix it”. Now, I am using your suggestion.
Along with the external hard drive I also bought a box of DVDs and I will be backing the system up this weekend and I will do a reinstall in 6 months.
Glad to help! Runs like a new one, huh?

We lost our computer's the same day and got them back up in the same time frame. It was four years for me though. My external drive got fried so, I lost everything except my graphics and some old backups of DesktopX folders.
Wish I could say my computer is faster but, it's actually slower. Had them install AVG which seems to be sucking the life out of it.
Missed my trading cycles this week; so, it looks like it will be a month before I can get OD.
What did you get for an external hard drive? Personally opted for 1 TB and plan to do monthly or weekly DVD burn opposed to the old when ever I felt like it.
