One of our work computers seems to be having trouble. So boss lady bought a new internal harddrive and is expecting ME to put it in.
H E L P !
First of all.... how do I back up what's on the current drive? Second... once I install the new drive, how do I get the OS on it?
I need to warn you all up front that I cannot purchase any sort of software for ANYthing...... it killed her to buy a new hard drive. They penny pinch and weasle out of a lot of purchases that are desperatly needed so having to purchase back up software will be out of the question....
Something free that's out there maybe?
I'm not that good with "parts"...... I need some guidance.....
