[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1294646, member: 56379"] Do you have anything you can just straight-up delete...so you can immediately free up some space? If not (and you need to back everything up without deleting first)...just do a little bit at a time...and then immediately delete what you just copied. Don't try to do a whole bunch of stuff all in one shot. Also remember that you're not trying to backup everything...just your files & data (MS Office files, music, video, photos, etc.). Stuff that cannot be replaced. Any applications you have you should be able to reinstall later from your original disks. There is still a possibility that the hard drive is dying. We're doing this exercise first to see if the almost full HD is the problem. - Nick [/QUOTE]
