Unfortunately, I wasn't performing regular backups. I tried to do a Windows repair, but the option wasn't available. Luckily, I'm able to copy the data from the drive to another drive before I reformat.
I'm considering a few different options for backup solutions:
1. Backup to 2 external drives, using Norton Ghost. I was thinking of using 2 in case 1 fails.
2..Set up a RAID configuration with 2 internal drives (not yet sure how to do this
Which one of these is a preferable solution? Any other suggestions?
Also, is it any better to install only the OS on 1 drive, and then install all other programs & keep most data files on another drive? I was thinking that if my OS ever failed again, I could reinstall the OS and since my applications are on another drive, I wouldn't have to reinstall them.
Also, I'm considering installing the OS on a Raptor drive to make the PC boot up and run faster, Any opinions on if this would be worth th extra drive cost?
Thanks for everyone's advice!
