Hard drives break down - - recovery of data is difficult and expensive. One should keep a copy of all the data on CD - - DVD or another on some other media. I have 3 computers. I installed a spare hard drive in each. Therefore I have a master C drive and a spare D drive. I use a program called Ghost to clone or copy (program uses DOS) all the data form C to D. I do this about once a week and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the amount of data being transfered and speed of your computer. It is not complicated but there is a system or way of doing the transfer. A suggestion: A broken hard drive might not operate as a C drive but if you set the pins as a slave - - install it as a slave in MOST computers - - you have a good chance of retrieving you data.
