i just got my notebook back today, the technician ended up backing up all my files — 70gig — then restoring my computer into its factory condition, and then shoving all the files back into my computer… that’s how i understand it… I had to pay him a pretty big buck, better than futureshop i guess, or bestbuy… they sure earn a lotta money from all this…. I mean seriousl, I could imagine that guy setting up the computer to restore… you just have to make sure the comp is plugged into a power outlet then you can let is sit there for how long it’ll take… you can then relax.. drink a tea/coffee… watch jeopardy… then another 10mins of clicking and setting up… then off you go… 3 hours of letting-it-lay there, then BAM… you’re done!… problem fixed… you give the comp back.. then you get your money…

then usually they charge 80$/hr… isn’t that just something… a major something? :eek:

i’ve got all my files back… problem is, my softwares are wiped out… so i spend the last 12hrs re-installing those softwares back… I  am exausted…. I’m goin to bed… ciao!

but still.. I could’ve done it… I could just restore my computer but then I needed my files… can’t afford to loose them so i didn’t have a choice…
