Second semester keep only the very best. Third semester, at the end, reevaluate the stuff from the second and repeat. During it all, study the best work you can find.

You can create a Linux bootable disk on a flash drive/jump drive and boot to that, and then see if you can read the data off the hard drive, moving it to the jump drive. If you have another desktop available, the old desktop drive can be slaved into the main one and might still be readable. Failure to boot does not mean the data is lost.<br /><br />Beyond that, Chris' backup comments are solid and I highly recommend them. If you can't use a Cloud service due to lack of internet, then make multiple copies of the files on different devices. Copy to a jump drive you carry with you, but also make a second copy on a jump drive you store in a secure place. Worst thing that will happen is you lose a day of work, not the whole thing.Jefferyhttp://www.trollbreath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-15835408469442712052015-01-28T13:10:27.721-08:002015-01-28T13:10:27.721-08:00just amazing postjust amazing postah ontuhttp://unitopten.com/noreply@blogger.com
