need help backing up... Jan 5, 2006 0:26:57 GMT -5

Post by drunken guitar pop on Jan 5, 2006 0:26:57 GMT -5

My computer's been acting up so to be safe I want to back up all my Oasis bootlegs on MP3 CDs or DVDs, and I have about 50 GB worth. I know this is pretty basic stuff but I've never tried this before.

Part of the problem is that every time I try to access the CD drive from My Computer I get "Please insert a disk into drive F." I have a DVD drive as well but I think it does the same thing. Strangely enough I use Acoustica CD Burner every now and then and it works fine.

I want to get everything in subfolders like it is on the hd so I know where everything is.

Also how many CDRs or DVDRs will I need?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

dvds hold around 4.3 gbs - unless you have a dual layered writer - which with the rights discs you could write just over 8gb on a disc.

or like me - it may be better and more efficent if you got an external harddrive - usb2 or firewire - so you can backup not just your oasis stuff, but other stuff - you can backup when you want and you can move the HD to a safe place or give to someone for safe keeping.

;D

hope thats a help

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
