No problem Denise. I think you
Hi Denise...
Sorry to hear about your HDD issues. Depending how important your time is, you may want to perform a system backup of the system drive onto DVD(s) and then perform a restore once the new drive is installed into the system. The only problem with this is that you may end up with 10 DVD

Thanks, elmo! I will look into the link you provided.
It does look like I have everything backed up onto my external hard drive.
My main concern now is spysweeper not letting me install again ...I
The antispyware that comes with windows 7 is pretty good the way it is (security essentials) and might not need a "paid" version of anything else.
Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

Thank you, weilin ...I will! I am working right now but this is first on my list to straighten out when I get home. I need to make sure all programs will be able to load back on before doing anything!
Thanks again!

I was aware there could be a problem when I ordered my 2TB, but I gave it a shot since it was a second internal for -- what else -- raw files and my other work flow. I ended up using a 1TB and it went very smooth. I am going to use the "extra" 2TB drive to build a unit with my son, something I had in the back of my mind when I ordered the 2TB hard-drive. In addition, for what is worth, I do not think the savings is enough to justify the green hype, I always go with 7200 RPM drives. There is a value to time, if it costs me $0.95 more per month to work a little faster, that is a trade-off I will take.

Denise, I am sure once you and your daughter start the project, you will find that it will go smoother than you are currently fearing.[]

Best of luck. If you have any urgent questions feel free to PM me for my number. I do ASIC design now (Intel) but I used to work IT for 7 years. This should be a interesting stroll down memory lane. I have no qualms giving another photographer a hand.
