Hi Paul,
Sounds like a neat tool for sure. I use a laptop harddrive which is contained
within a special case for housing laptop drives and is also powered via the USB
ports.
I only have a 160 Gig here at home, yours sounds really good, what kind of
price are we talking here?.
Paul.

Hi Paul i have just got a 400 gig external hard drive. The beauty of this one
it is no bigger than a regular passport. In fact it is called a passport hard
drive. The one i got is a 400 gig. I got it in scotland but you can get them in
pc world for various sizes. Another good advantage with the passport hard drive
you don't need to plug it into the wall. You plug it in to the usb connection
on your pc the same as a flash drive. You can get a hard case for the drive so
you can bring it withyou. If you want any more information let me know.

Hi Edel,
I would suggest strongly that you or anyone else who cares about their
computer work, personal files, music collections etc get an external drive and
create a backup plan. I recently read in the Lidl catalogue where they had a
"terrabyte external drive" for euros 80. This is a massive size of storage
space and I would suggest that you watch out for it in future either in Lidl or
Aldle.
Paul.

Hi Paul
Thank you for all that info but it leads me to a few more questions now!
Am I right in saying then, that WinZip is not a saving space facility but
rather a backup facility if the original file remains?
I have located my zipped files since my last email and unzipped them in
order to download the new programme you recommended and although I've gone
through the process of unzipping, they still look like zipped files to me. Why
is this?
I suppose my real question is if deleted the original as in the file that
remained to save space, what would happen?.
I have a lot of music and photographs on my pc which are the main culprits
I know for taking up space but I don't suppose it is possible to zip these.
Maybe the external hard drive is the answer to my problems.
Is it a big device?
and how much approx?.
Edel..

Hi Edel,
"I win zipped files to try and free up space but the original stays in my
documents. Is that right."
Yes Edel, that's correct. The original files will remain where they are
located and the zipped up files will basically be wherever you instructed the
zip software to store them when converted into the zip format.
It sounds like you didn't tell where to locate the new zipped up files
and WinZip just used its default location.
" I can't find the zipped files at the moment so I'm assuming I've done
something wrong? If I were to delete the original is it easy then to access
the zipped files when I need them."
Zipped up files is a pretty good idea but on one or two occasions in the
past when I came back to a zipped up file I had and needed something out of
it, it failed to work correctly and I lost my files. I do stress this doesn't
often happen but if you are thinking of using this for back up purposes, I
would still refer to the kind of backup plan I wrote to the list earlier today
and see how it might suit your needs.
If you really want to zip up your files I would recommend a great free
zip software called "7-zip" and you can download it from the below link. When
you right click on any files or folders or have first selected a group of files
and or folders, just right click and you will see that there is a 7 zip sub
menu in there. You can right arrow in here and choose to zip up what you have
selected. At this point it will prompt you to give it a place to locate the
zipped up files, just click on browse and make your choice of location. Next,
there will be a kind of save as file type box with the format of "7Z" in it,
change this to zip, you only have to do this one, any other time you create a
zip file it will have remained at the format of". zip". Just click on okay and
the process will begin. Much simpler I think than WinZip.
