well my internet crapped out... all I was getting was local only... so I unplugged the Cat5 cable and plugged it into my laptop... boom... internet.

fuck'n weird thing was I didn't change anything... so I figured I'll restore to a point earlier that morning... it started then said back up was corrupt... so I went to one the day before... corrupt... tried 7 different restore points... all corrupt...

so then I said fuck it... I'll figure it out... but no. the restore had gone far enough to not allow windows to boot. YAY!

so back to out of the box specs it is...

at least my pics were all on my external hd... I'd be throw'n shit if they were gone

To make myself even more of a dumbass, I got a new computer, but I still haven't gotten an external hard drive yet. I've been working so much, I really haven't had time. I do go and look every once in a while, but I keep hoping I'll find a place with a good sale or closeout going on.

So, if anyone knows where one is at a really good price, PM me a link or something. I'd appreciate it!

I've been looking at some 1TB's on tigerdirect, but I'm not familiar enough with them to know which brands (besides WD and Seagate) are good. Plus, I need something that would be simple to use, like maybe just copy/paste. I don't know shit about backing up my computer. The only thing I care to back up is music, pictures, and maybe a few movies I have.
