Computer woes: advice appreciated

Entry deleted:

I'm using my iPod to back up my data as it is 40gigs, and then I will selectively return things to the freshly formatted hard drive of Lothlorien. It may take a while, but its free.

More on how to handle back ups shortly. Thank you, all, for your advice.

True I have never payed to have anything done...I do it myself (or get Bill, he's good with this stuff). But laptops often take special "tools". So I think I would get it done professionally.

I used to take apart computers for BD (Business Depot), but laptops no I wouldn't touch them without a manual/demo to work on first.
