    Anyone want to lend me an external hard drive for a day or two. (Deposit paid). Just want to transfer files off my laptop so that I can remaster it and not lose them. Or if anyone knows of a better way to do it please let me know. Many thanks.:)

    How many GB you need?
    Mine is pretty much full of porn work.

    I know they are fairly cheap but just can't justify it as never really need it. Only need about 40GB of space.

    Have you a backup of your machine ?

    From the sounds of it no .. so what happens when your machine blows up and you've lost the 40GBs that are on it ? will you be happy ?

    Been there done that ... suffered the consequences :(

    that reminds me,....i have a laptop hard drive in the freezer from yesterday

    guy had all photos and VAT returns saved on it, no backups whatsoever, drive stopped working while he was on the net 3 days ago, its spinning but clicking.

    OP, burn the stuff to DVD's that are usually only a few cent each and you can keep that backup

    I was all set to offer you one until I checked the various drives that I have and they are all pretty much full. I'd get about 40Gb of space spread through about three of them :)

    Someday I will find the time to clear them out as I'm sure there's a lot of junk that could be deleted.
