If you have a USB port, you could add an external hard drive to your computer. HTH __________________ Yes I was looking at this option and it makes more sense because I could use it for a back up for both my Gateway Laptop and HP. The external drives I was looking at on tigerdirect.com and compusa.com said they were 2.0 USBs but backward compatible with my 1.1 USB ports. I have 2 4-Port USB Hubs -- Desktop one is full but Laptop still has two ports open. Yup, I do believe this is a solution.
