[or-roots] New computer

[Jacqueline]

Good afternoon.........all the good pointers etc that are coming my way on the question about my Family tree maker version and what to do.  Safety is great in burning the CD's and storing your family information there,  now partitioning the hard drive is just a tad bit over my head, my son would understand how that works.

Thanks again for the continuing education.

  I am still using Win 98 2nd ed.  Do not need to partition.  Just get it out of the computer to an Iomega disk or what
  ever.  If they take your machine, they get the soft ware,
  but that can be replaced.  Had an accounting office who
  did not keep back up disk copies, and bingo - the thief
  got not only their machine, but their client's files.

  You can also get an inexpensive back up program to 
  disk or CD. in addition to regulary backing up specific
  program files.

  Also helps when your hard drive goes to never never land.

  One question.  Why did they change from a good CPM
  base to DOS the dummy base?

    i have been using hardrive partitions for years and have never had a problem with them. I don't know where some people come up with this off the wall stuff. Its an old wives tales David. I use Windows XP and it auto maticcally partition the drive so does Win 98, and ME.
