backing up stuff
ok...never have backed up anything, but when my computer
crashed I realized I should have. Now, what can I do to save some spreadsheets, etc. to a disk? Is this a dumb question? thanks!! |

why did your computer crash? Was there an error message? Please post the actual message Without knowing what actual crashed, there is no way to know if your files can be salvage.

If your screen went completely black on the old machine, odds are it was a mobo issue that killed the computer. The drive is probably still good and could most likely be transferred, along with your old data, to your new machine.
Otherwise, it seems like you already have a solution for future data, which is save it to CD. If you use CD-RW (rewritable) discs, you can save docs to the disc and in the event they would need to be updated, alter them, save to hdd and then burn the updated file to the unfinalized CD-RW. Or, of course, you can just continue to add more files to it as needed so that one disc will provide the backup for all your spreadsheets until the disc is eventually filled. |
