200 GB is nothing! I wouldn't be able to fit *anything* if I only had 200 GB....in fact, I need to buy another external hard drive...

Good luck, subzero.

I wouldn't even know what to do with all that. I'm only sportin 75GB at home. I do have a sh|tload of music on it, and I'm not even using half of it...
You huge HD guys must have a bunch of videos or something...

I have a 160 GB internal and a 120 GB external...but I have sooo much data backed up on data DVDs because I am always running out of space. I write and edit music and film sometimes as a hobby, and that uses up a lot of space (besides all the movies and music I download...lol). I'm buying a 500 GB external soon, hopefully. Mind you, what I have is nothing. My dad is now working with the National Film Board and he has....inexplicable amounts of hard drives and data but he still keeps running out of space! I also know people who have several terabytes of data, consisting of only downloaded stuff!!

First thing:
1) Get rid of the trash that is synmantec and norton. They're pieces of crap which should have no place in any computer
2) Get AVG Anti-Virus (free edition) from Grisoft. Just look it up on Google, because the free version is a little bit of a challenge to find.
3) Reinstall your sound drivers after this. That should fix it

Of course, try system restore first, then get rid of that stupid "antivirus" and get a good one, like AVG

I put AVG on my computer a while back, and it royally f**k my computer up. It took forever to get it to run again.

lol the 500 gig drive I get will probably be a Seagate...I can't afford a 750 right now otherwise I would definitely go for that!

I'm hoping to score a 250+GB external for Christmas. I desperately need to back up my music and movies, as I'd hate to lose 50GB of music and 80GB of movies.

My roommate has about 1.3TB of storage space spanned over several externals and internals. And somehow, most of the space is taken up.

does anyone have a recommended burning software? i remember i had one a while back in the napster era that allowed me to burn mp3's with errors on them (minor) and it would be fine.

with the program i use now, Nero, if one mp3 in the bunch has a problem...it aborts the whole process.
