HAS anyone ever done this ?
do they save all your stuff for you or do you have to do that yourself ?
was your experience good or bad ??
I'm VERY protective of all my files and depending on everyones replies - I just may do it myself but man - it's SO much work - so I'm wondering if it's better to take it to the professionals - I want it to run like it's brand new
Thank you !!! |
V, i had a problem with my desktop, its a gateway pc, even though i have a warranty, they wanted me to reformat as i had a currupted Windows file, i did not trust myself and didn want to loose everything, they told me i could take it to Best Buy and have them clone my Hardrive first. I did that and i didn trust myself to reformat over the phone with gateway...so i had Best buy do it. Of course i paid for it ! To clone Hardrive they charged $ 100.00 but i did not loose a thing ! I just wrote some of the paid programs numbers down (antivirus, firewalls ex...) as i print them out once in a while so i could download them again. Its been running great since... good luck !
