Cheaper than a Playstation and more useful. indeed. Ian has mentioned using a UPS so you get alot more 'cleaner' electricity without any voltage spikes etc which is suprisingly common. We're using quite a big UPS at work, just to run the most important PC there and support all of the network/switch equipment.

	Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate it. As far as RAID goes, Im pretty new to it and dont know hardly anything about it. I have read that there are different types or RAID "systems, something like RAID-0, RAID-1 all the way up to 5? What do I need for my problem and should I look out for anything when setting it up. Thanks again.

	Raid controller if your mboard doesn't have one and a couple of drives. Quite a lot of the sata boards seem to have raid controllers built in.

	Well if you export your registry to a file every now and then, you could just copy your program files back off the backup, import the registry settings, and theoretically it should work. Or I could be talking shit, and theres a better way to do it :lol:

	Ok after 2 Hard drive failures in recent months I was thinking that its probably time that I backed the whole HDD up!! At the minute I just back my music etc up when Iremember and have time. I have been reading somewhere that its possible to backup the whole partition? If so can this be done automatically or even updated as and when files are changed? (Not totally sure, but think it might have to be raid for this??) I know you can get software that will backup up just your files but its a right faff on having to install windows and my programs again. Any one come across anything like this before? Thanks, Mark [Edited on 14-10-2005 by Melville]
