Inbuilt recovery consoles that let you keep all your data:

All DSG Brands (Advent Packard Bell eMachines Gateway)

HP Compaq too

any computer sold by pcworld that has the useless techguys recovery console although you need to use a usb drive for this)

i reckon to be fair the packard bell console is the best of the bunch you can even do a few naughty things with it

im still using DAT tapes for my backups anyone remember these babies?

i know of a rather large blue chip organisation thats still using reel 2 reel too for backing up billing & config info

If you need somewhere to temporarily back up your files to (in case you have another problem) we have a couple of dedicated servers you could store them on until you get sorted with an external hard drive or similar.
Any chance you have 6TB spare for me to temporarily store my crap on?  ;D

PS
I only have a 2Mbit upload, so it may take 290 days or so for the upload to complete  :D

Why not.....let's see if it's cheaper than what I give Redbus (LINX) at the moment for unlimited bandwidth on a 100Mbit pipe straight out in to the big wide world ;)

Well, back on mine :y Daughters 'notebook' too small for me, I can type properly so this one finger typing is a pain to me and I kept hitting the wrong keys, sober :P
I am not going to switch this off tonight, just close the lid, seems to put it into a sleep mode. Don't have a lot of stuff on it that I would worry about loosing, will back up onto a disk my photos and other stuff tomorrow, just in case.

Still just the 2 faults according to AVG which is still running, only other problem recently is laptop seems to be running slowly, maybe I should take it in for a 'Service' by a professional ::)

No chance of that mate, there are a couple of independant places.  The main home PC is waiting to go in for repair/checking, been waiting months cos I bought a second hand complete system for £60.oo, does the biz, so keeps the boys happy :y

The only way you are cheaper is if you are being paid to keep it on the 7th floor ;)

I may be, I have had many a moment, over the years when I have been tempted to throw the computer out of the window. Crashed and had to use F8 to start it again, however removed something that AVG brought up so will wait and see ::) ::)
