I hate being this so inactive but I have no choice at the moment. So I got a new hard drive the other day, started to install windows 7, said it needed to restart for the usual installation stuff, well after the computer restarted the external display would not show. Through VGA ad S-video. My internal monitor on my laptop cracked as most of you know, so VGA and s-video were my only options. Come to find out my mother board stopped working. And Toshiba wants $280, for mine. I've already looked at new egg and what not, but only found desktop mobo's. So I don't have a computer anymore. Took the RAM out and junked the rest, the wireless, and graphics card are built in, so there was no way for me to salvage those. So I will be saving up for a new computer, found out 17" laptops now only cost $299 plus tax obviously.

What did I do with the new hard drive? It's a 320GB HD and I replaced my 120GB HD in my PS3 Slim, so now I have more room for downloading games and videos.

You could probably buy an enclosure for the 120GB from the PS3 and use it as an external backup drive.

I already have parts for the external, my ps3 will not recognize it, it will recognize my flash drive though.

I was more thinking an external for the computer. Probably a good idea to be making backups since technology hates you.

The only backup I need is music. And that's on my iPod.
