j is the one that worries me. i only slows down when i unzip stuff on it, so i dont use it for much.

c, e, and f is one drive. just partitioned.

i usually try and keep 10% of my drive free at all times, but a lot of the time it doesnt work out that way.

Originally posted by PatMcGroin the 80 that i'm most worried about is 100% backed up. the 120s run fast so i know they are fine. and dude, it would take me a week of doing nothing but burning shit to back it all up. i dont have that kinda patience. i usually do like 10 dvdrs at a time then get bored.

I totally hear ya on that, man...but think of it this way. Backing everything up would consume a LOT less time than trying to reacquire everything you (God forbid) might lose in the event of a disaster.

indeed. but i've had so many hard drive loses in my lifetime already. first time it happened i got so pissed i broke everything i could find. last time it happened i cried. seriously.

and the external that died had stuff on it that no one else had. i lost stuff that will never ever EVER be available again. i dropped the ball big time on that one. had a lot of people really mad at me. i still have people ask me for some of the stuff that was on there.

Aw man. I've only been thru that disaster ONCE. I lost around 8GB of music, but that sounds like chump change compared to your losses. Dude, it could be worse....try backing things up on CDR. Would take you 3 times longer than DVDRW. Heh, maybe you should have someone come over and do the work for you. You tell him what to burn and he does it...hehehe.

Anyone know how to rip a DVD so I can convert it to mpeg/divx?

check www.videohelp.com . by far the BEST website out there for that stuff.

da, i've got 1300+ cdrs backed up with data (not audio, DATA). all that before i got my dvd-r. dvd-r is by far faster and more efficent. so far i've got about 50 dvdrs backed up.

damn i wish i had a digital camera, i'd take some pics of my cd shelf. its quite a sight.

Thanks for the link! I need something to rip DVDs to my hard drive, so then I can convert them to files for my PSP to read. Watching movies at works makes my day go by so much quicker.

Dude, that's an insane amount of CDRs! I have no DVDRs here, but will defintely pick some up for tomorrow, cuz I'm backing everything up for sure.

Haha this is funny...talking about backing up stuff...I just bought like 40 cds and started backing up my files just in case...phew

Sup man.

Yeah, I'm so not losing the stuff I have now, but it took me so long to install and configure the two drives, I don't have much time tonight to back stuff up. Will defintely get started on that tomorrow after work. Oh, and PVD's Soundgarden is on tomorrow! 2 P.M. Eastern Time www.fritz.de You'll need RealPlayer to tune in.

At the moment I'm trying to rip Saving Private Ryan so I can watch that at work tomorrow.
