I have a feeling my hard drive is about to go. My son suggested an external hardrive to save my pictures.

I am having problems at start up with the screen just going black. I tried to start up under the f10 recovery but nothing.. just gets to the blue screen and then goes black. I finally got it up again. But I have tons of pics and I don't want to lose them.

Actually if your hard drive about to go thats pretty bad. Unless your son means that you are running out of space and not the fact that its about to break.
First of all - how big do you want the hard drive to be. I usually go to newegg.com(not and advertisement). You can search stuff by popularity and by price. I actually checked it out just now and this the one I found
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822154623
It looks like most people like it and its 80 gb - and for 60 bucks its pretty nice. You can of course do your own browsing. I am sure other people here will suggest other sites to go and find stuff.
Also, read some of the reviews to make sure this is what you want.
Good Luck

I don't know if it is the best, most inexpensive one on the market, but i recently purchased a 250GB MyBook external hard drive for $130. It works great, and it has more than enough memory for all of my music and pictues. I am extremely satisfied with mine, and i think you would benefit from looking at them. The great thing about the mybooks is that you can have as many as you want! They're small and a sinch to use. Google "MyBook + external hard drive" and see what you can come up with. Good Luck!

Mostly any of the namebrand external ones are good enough. HP, etc...type in measuring harddrive memory in the search space and you can figure how much space you'll need. And I agree tigerdirect.com is a great site.
