Running out of hard drive space? Want to add a second drive. I will order a drive that is compatible with your computer, then physically install, configure, partition and format the new drive so it's ready for use. I will also check to see your that computer's power supply unit provides sufficient wattage to your system to power the additional drive (most computers do indeed have sufficient extra power to add an additional drive). Finally I will configure automated data backups to the 2nd drive using Windows XP or Vista, or install and configure Norton Ghost data backups. I will also educate you on how to use and maintain Norton Ghost (or Windows built in backups).
Or do you instead wish to replace your main system drive (C drive)?
Facts:
Half life of a hard drive = 5 - 7 years
Half life of optical media (ex- CDR) = 30 years.
