Folks - recently got taken offline for a week at home through win2k refusing to boot due to a missing file. Reasons for this are not known, although virus not ruled out but it may have been disk corruption or failure for all I know.
The wife got mighty pissed off about not having the pc as there are alot of resources we use for at home education. This means I can spend some cash if necessary to avoid a repeat.
I have got up and running by installing a new 340Gb SATA HDU, putting win2k on that, enabling large drive access in win2k, and then reading important stuff from the old 250Gb HDU onto the new disk.
Now then... preventative medecine please. Please can I get some solid advice about how to go about regular backups, raid arrays etc etc or whatever people would advise. I do have a RAID enabled mobo (Asus).
Thankledoodles!!
