kurandoinu:
I shall keep this topic handy and hope she doesn't destroy her computer before I get home. Thinking of letting her have my old machine for a low price, as the clicker on the one shes using doesn't even work. I was gonna keep it and either hackintosh it or make it into a media centre, but as the now ex is the one that knows how to do all that stuff theres no fucking point :/

bork:
If you are supporting it as in keeping that computer running, you might want to look at yet another option -

Image the HD onto a second HD, a 250G HD now days are not too expensive.  If anything were to go wrong with the running computers HD, a quick swap and you are running again.  Imaging is not like file coping or backing-up were its dealing with files, it works at the sector/cylinder level; it can move a 250G disk in about 10~15 min.

kurandoinu:
I don't want to be backing everything up though, just the important stuff. If she loses films or stuff off there, I gave them to her anyway so I have the files. Its just photos and home videos and stuff thats unique.

bork:
Well anyways - its seems to be a common question though:

lol, my mom is still using an old Emachine with a 566MHz Celeron and a 7.5gb HDD (back when they measured in halves of gigs) running Windows ME...
