I have a Dell Studio 15 500gb sata hd (7200rpm). I really don't want to mess with an internal drive. The external is about all I can handle. I'm scared to death that I'll mess everything up when it's working perfect for me now. This computer replaced another dell that was only 1 year old. When it updated a service pack the computer would not come back up and I had to take it in to have as much as possible saved off the hard drive then they wiped it clean. I only had to re download about 50 cd's. That's when I decided to buy the new computer and get windows 7 because I hated vista. When I got the new computer windows 7 is not compatible with the version of Traktor that played my regular DJ music. I figured if I was going to spend money on new software I was finally going to put my karaoke on the computer. Big step for me because my son always helped me with my computers but I was tired of depending on him. I was determined to do this on my own. That's what brought me to Hoster. I have set up everything on my own and boy have I learned alot along the way. I got everything downloaded and set up by myself. Fixed the "hum" and fading problem I was having. Now I just want to make sure I don't go through this again. The old computer is back up and running, but I use that as my everyday computer so I don't want to use it as a backup. I use the studio only for my dj business and I only go on line for updates and occasional Itune downloads. I hope I can do what I need to with external harddrives. Sorry to go on and on. I hope to make what a have last for 2 more years than I can retire after 20 yrs.
