Oh and also… I have a free copy of windows 7. How can I install in from digital form on to my new drives? Can I do it via an external HD caddy?
ta
My hdd is on the verge of death so will need to replace that too. On a bit of a budget so considering this
I’ve had a 1.5tb for 3 years and am only up to a third full and it has 3 prior installations of windows on it, so 1tb should be fine. Does anyone have any experience with these drives? Is this the one to get in my price range (up to £70)?
Also, I would like to have Windows and BF3 on the SATA and then all my documents etc on the hdd – is there a way to set this up, or do I have to manually remap all the folders?
Cheers
I save directly to dropbox, and create a back up on my flashdrive every hour – I think that has me covered.

Cheers for the heads up – I actually saved everything for a recent re install, so no big job.
Ive heard bad things about OCz SSD’s, can these be ignored? and I have a SATA II Mobo… will this limit my speed?
Cheers
There we some reported issues with the OCZ Agility 3 SSD’s but there has been a firmware update since, which seems to has sorted it for most people. I have the OCZ Vertex 4 and I can tell you I’ve had no issues and it’s exceedingly quick.
With regards to SATA II Board limiting your speed, you can get SATA II SSD’s and compared to a mechanical HDD, you will notice a huge performace increase. If you wanted to, you could still buy a SATA III SSD and futureproof yourself if you decide to get a newer mobo/cpu later on, but it will only run a quick as the SATA II Ports on your Mobo. Again, compared to a mechnical drive it will be much faster.
So… the reason for me being a bit quiet at the moment is due to my HD failing! (Cheers Lammie!) On the plus side, they are sending me an upgrade as a replacement (Agility 3 or something) – so thanks Lammie again!
Currently writing essays on my backup drive which is on the verge of failing… hopefully not for too much longer.
Definitely need some XDC action on this at some point – a squad of sniper spotting, Javelin killing and support re arming would be completely unstoppable!
The maps are amazing too – loving the one which goes up to the snowy peaks
The router is about a meter from my pc, and have never had an issue with the setup before, but it might be a clash with the new tech.
will know next week!
