Losing my pictures :(


Question Posted Saturday June 16 2007, 5:24 pm

Hey,
So I'm the one whose had that problem where I can't see my icons or toolbar; and now I'm pretty sure we're going to have to completly restore my computer to the beginning for some reason. (I'm not sure why, the guy on the phone who was helping from some computer place said we'd be able to).

I know that in regular restorations, pictures and other files are not lost, but I think the guy said I'd have to put my pictures onto something if I wanted to save them.


So, I know there are those things you use to hold files, but I'm not sure what they're called, or how much they cost/where I can get them.


In face, I'm not entierly sure my pictures will be deleted.

This just means ALOT to me, mainly because of the pictures. I've gone through two cameras, both costing a few hundreds of dollars, and I've got TONS of pictures, so I don't want all of that money and everything to go to waste. :(


But yea, any help would be appreciated. Basically any answer to any of the described problems would be amazing. :)


Thanks!

KAT!

Use mozy free backup to backup all of your pictures. You'll be able to recover them later:

You only get 2GB of free storage. Pictures shouldn't take up that much, so if you go over your quota, uncheck other categories from mozy's options, and manually back them up by uploading them to megaupload( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ). The device you're probably thinking of is a USB flash drive, but this method is superior.

The technical support person probably wants to reformat your computer, which will certainly delete all of your data.
