Backing up

well if i back up my "things" its gonna take 37 dvds lol i have 157 gigs of just Movies music and what nots.... that will take forever and be very costly..... SHould i still do it or wait for my new hard drive that im planning on getting?
 
sooo if i connect it to another computer i can import all the documents no trouble?

do i just have to plug it in or install all the drivers first ?
 
G~man, you will be able to use it on any computer but you will need to install drivers first
 
IcyBox overheated, can't see disk when re-started.

Hi,

I was backing up to IcyBox last night and when I saw it this morning, I realised it overheated. I switched if off, re-started after sometime and I still could not see the disk drive. I am thinking of leaving it off for longer time (morning til afternoon) and try again. Has anybody experienced something similar? How could I get the disk back (i.e. see my data again)? I hope I have not completely fried it up. :(

Thanks loads!
 
I have only backed up when my hard drive decided to start dying and I had to transfer data.

I will start when I get a working DVD player.
 
IcyBox alive and kicking

No need to answer my query. It just needed a bit of TLC (tender loving care). I blasted the airconditioner to full and cooled it down.

Cheers!
