[AT] Update - Laptop hard drive

[Dean VP]

Chalie,

I'm sure he can use different folders for each computer.

Glad it worked out for you Mike.
How are you going to back up 3 computers to that 2 TB drive?
Do you partition the drive with a different virtual drive for each or
what?  I'm very ignorant on these issues.

Just wanted to give an update on my laptop hard drive. I ran every check 
suggested, and my hard drive checked out fine, so I decided to wipe the 
drive and reinstall windows 7, its much snappier now.  I have all my 
files backed up to Carbonite, so I thought reinstalling would be a snap. 
I double checked to make sure all my important files were there, and 
backed up, and they were.
I wiped the drive on the 17th, and reinstalled Windows on the morning of 
the 18th, and then started my back up. As of today I am only at 61% on 
the backup, with pictures being the big hang up. I took Charlie Hills' 
advice and bought a 2TB external hard drive, and will use that for my 
back ups from now on. It will pay for itself in less than a year, and I 
will be able to back up my computer, and my 2 daughters computers on one 
drive. I have to believe USB 3.0 is faster that my download speed.
