hey guys as a going go see Richard today
with the tutorial on had it back up hard
drive just in case one hears is dying
this way if it starts to die
you can quickly back it up and save the
information that's on it
now person is gonna go through is the
easiest way to back them up nowadays
is you can either try and buy some cloud
storage which can be very expensive
or if you are you can do by these are 1
to 2 terabyte hard drives
the PLO great into the PC they're still
around 50-60 box
but the remake it really easy to backup
your
drive that's dying now if you're having
problems reading the drive that's
currently
dying the best way to hack cheat us see
it
is you can also download a program
called the Ubuntu
or latex I if you want to learn more
about downloading those programs
you can always jump on YouTube of course
in search
how to download lyrics or you are you
want to
and it will show you how to download it
to either USB stick or burn it to a
CD and basically it's just the operating
system that will run of a desk
or USB stick and a lot of times when
drives ur
can't be seen by Windows I've plugged in
%uh the USB stick with Linux on it or
you buy into
maybe to see it it's a really good thing
just in case also if you're are Windows
crashes
and you don't have a Windows CD and you
can't get it back up because it's too
cropped it
you could always try and go on with you
bond to arlen X and get your old files
arm it's really actually easy once you
go in all your gonna do is you plugging
a USB stick
with a Linux on it and it allow you see
a lot of times the allow you to get into
a debt of rating system and recover your
files that you need
arm so I would highly suggest picking up
for that case to
arm a one to two terabyte hard drive so
that we can back up the stuff that
matters to you
you know photos and all that other stuff
soul
you did there's one way you can do it
you can do that or you can get well as
are 19 get flash drive securely saving
your pictures you don't care about
any other things on their lar times you
can just pick up a 64 gig stick
that's what this big still it's gonna
cost you about 30 bucks so in the long
run
I still suggest picking up the portable
hard drive
because for an extra 30 bucks a double
price but
you get a terabyte instead of a couple
gigabytes
her six for kicks and you'll probably
end up using his
for a lot more things like movies and
everything else but everyone a backup
it's perfect so that being said
from with me what I'm gonna be doing
today
but got a computer here as you can see
I'm running on like
0 space I needed a need space
this my solid state drive which if
you're not going to be replacing your
made operating system drive I highly
suggest you pick up a solid state drive
and a media drive meaning
say like I've got a Seagate one here
will be putting and
and the Seagate one is a 64 megabyte
cash
and it's going to be three 1000 gigs
so 3 terabytes and its
up yes seventy both the 7200 rpm
but yet picked up yesterday and that's
going to be going in to replace this
media drive
so many copy and pasting everything from
here
bomb on new my passport now keep in mind
you can't do this with games
you can only do that like the copy and
paste
with from I like music and stuff like
that if you start doing it with games
the your desktop large icons will be
working
and they can cause a lot of headache the
best thing usually to do
is up sry install under the new drive
that would be your one that would be the
last edit: you could try copying pasting
my work for some games
we still have to be careful because
certain shortcuts and
stuff that you have around your computer
or won't be headed there
retried for a bit
so from that being said first thing you
want to do
is back up your hard drive and
as you can see I have way more gigs on
this than I do on this drive so
I could actually back everything up on
here the other thing I do is I might
just actually this in years a buffer
drive
and then I might throw in my a third
hard right
a and parade here
and so yep that's basically how easy it
is
if you're interested in seeing am
how to put the new hard drive in and how
easy it is to put new hard drive it
stay tuned for the next section hey guys
so
the expert that you need to do is if you
look on the side to see all your
connections
what you wanna do is unplug the more I
suggest you do is take a picture first
so that way you know where every single
the USB UN
otherwise when he turned the PC back on
if it's in a different hole
of to try and search for the device and
then match the drivers to it sometimes
the best thing to do is just to take a
picture seeking to put everything right
back in there a whole
arm especially if you're not really good
needed set up your computer
that way you know if you're running a
graphics card sometimes there's an
onboard
and if you plug it into the arm borden's
to your graphics card the Nou Camp
lot worser
picture and video quality in game in
quality so
on if you see the card you probably be
plugging into their
hurry so just make sure you get that and
everything else
so also you're in here you might want to
actually
up below your sister clean with vacuum
so the next thing you're gonna do is if
you have if phillips screw driver
I use it to Phillips you just under
these minor just finger tighten because
have the thumbscrews
and I'm just take this off all the time
got a gaming PC or something
enough and rate their see a here
and you can see I have
my all hard drive if
rate there with the two little side
pieces on their
they have to swap that drive ot um if
you don't have a newer stuff a case like
this
the quick disconnects what you will have
is
Phillips screws so what you'll do is you
just slide the drive-in
pull that this case in here and
you'll see will actually if you take
your hard drive you look on the side you
can each see
the little small holes in their I'm
makes use only computers cruised on
trying
jam some all the random screw their
because someone might be a little bit
deeper
the don't want it to this a one-stroke
the threats
to you don't want to strip boat the %ah
into the hard drive has a bit if you're
RAM in on itself taps into the hard
drive you can run into a lot of problems
really quickly
as you can see I have my solid state
drive rehear and
if you're through putting in a solid
state drive all you gotta do is put in
double sided sticky tape on it
if you want to worsen tell crow and
Velcro to a surface they don't get very
hot
and you don't really need to bolt them
his there another to drive mounting kit
for them
but there's bloody expensive than told
the immediate
you can dole cites dickey's things
anywhere its
and if you like cool isn't it supposed
to be you know this way up with this way
down
its just like a a will see iPhone or
your Android device those you solid
state drives
it doesn't matter which way you mounted
it's like up
otherwise holding your phone a certain
position be very bad for your cell phone
caseload me solid state stuff in there
so
once again just find a good place that
you like it and put it there
and you're all good K souls
if you're at this point we gonna do is
if you're hard right came with
quick disconnects gonna put one on each
side usually pretty easy
civic thus my old right but
yeah as you can see it's just with my
there's no even bolts
it's just too black pieces their goal
line up with two pins
kratom you slide it in you Locsin
alright and yeah that's basically it
next thing you want to do
is you have to give your hard drive
power like so
power and then say to and
the Cedar Court will go down and in
if you have a motherboard you might want
to read up on your connections there
will be some connections that give you
'em
3.0 and I think yeah and then someone
will give you 6.0
so if your hard drive requires say the
6.0
you might need to upload that in instead
a 3.0
just tip and a yeah but like I said
if you go in here and everything is
completely covered in dust it's a good
opportunity said second stuff I'll
just make sure if you're suckin stuff ot
that you put your fingers
in the way the fans as your second you
know cuz
if not the fans spin really fast and
they can
cause the water damage or damage the
barings on the inside
and if it damaged bearing on the inside
then you get that whiny fan are you
just get that van that charm sir
you could do some other stuff so yet to
make sure that
you don't let the F and start speeding
like crazy
otherwise you could run into problems
but yep okay
so stay tuned for the the next section
the show you everything went to denmark
Reks oh one last thing free to use make
sure when you're melting this thing that
you don't put it right next to another
drive like
so these guys are pretty close that's
fine but what you don't wanna do
is mount a hard drive that close to
realize he's get pretty hot sometimes
they have breather holes on them
you look around don't quite see one for
this but still think it's hot you want
room for
the heat to escape since its this style
is not a solid-state
they're still spinning moving parts that
they do you get quite warm
I it's always a good idea to make sure
the space so you can say about those
pocket right here it's going to be going
in the center that pocket so that way
arm it's got enough cooling on each side
very so just a quick tip for your
and yeah if you wanted to see the rails
were out all I
like I said as you push the pins and the
screw holes and it
lock someone in the weirdest a slider
char are driving the track
if that's how you have it for the quick
disconnect rice
if you have the others towered bolt-on
like I said you ship bolted and
can be careful you're putting a dent
okay hey guys how's it going so
the last part you have to do is
you gonna go to computer if you look
great here you gonna notice that
I've got this drive showing right here
but yours might not be showing
the reason why is propping up allocated
so we're gonna have to do is we're gonna
have to
gets the computer reads your drive
so unit do Quixtar
here and then you gonna go to computer
right click and if you go to
sorry kun secular manage
I want to go here you'll see just
manager
free click here you can see I have some
unallocated space a reason why
is since I bought a $3 terabyte I two
terabyte and I'm running home edition it
won't let me
allocate the 706 forty six gigs
AXA rate here because it saying hey
that's three terabyte and we're only
allowing
used to use to exhibit because I've only
got home edition up Pro Edition if I get
pro that I can
allocate that now this allows you to do
it
arm taking allocate space now the way
that I actually like to do it
is I actually use many tools
are many tool Partition Wizard easy if
you go online you can download it
it's super easy as soon as you download
it
I'm want to get many tool Partition
Wizard
are you gonna do is you can I tried
recover data from a desk if you had no
luck with the other tabs
arm it only allow you to recover a gig
with the data
weights like I said your best bet is
just easy fun too
are I am latex so you can see here we
have the money to a partition Wizard we
click here
now I've already partition so I can't
really say that part
but if you click here and you
double-click its gonna come up with them
out
and I'll show size see if I can sorter
bringing I dot cycle I P
by yeah if you've click on here you
click on the drive
can just see it here and then you're
pressed the
Create button which if you click on a
tile pop up with
so when you click Create
I it's gonna let you choose a name and a
drive letter
as you can see I did see and then I put
media
so that's how you gonna do and after you
do that I
al Qaeda space you want if you want to
have more than one drive like maybe
wanna make one for pictures one for
videos and stuff you can do that and
then just use up the space on the drive
but yeah that's basically where you
gonna be doing just do that and
I'm from their do will be this year.
drive
and sure thing if you want to copy and
paste like your show your
I am right now I have a currently
the drive Jimmy Reed down there my old
drive which will be removing
just so small it's only date everything
arm
click right here II
computer so you can copy
all this and then taste it
rate here and
if you do that including games and stuff
we can do afterwards is if you call it
the exact same thing
and then for the drive letter UV where
you can do is
after you move everything from there to
here
you on plug this you can't range this
drive
letter to an am and like
not on em but your previous drives
letter so that way
all your shortcuts will work on the
desktop it's just gotta be exactly how
it
is here so it's gonna be mere image so I
can use copy
Prescott going here pressed paste
and then after you done that you're
going to
switch the drive letter well that's
effecting do it re from here
properties
Walt the best way to do actually stood
just manager
I think it's right here we're just gonna
go back to computer
manager drives
Disk Manager
Change Drive Letter and Paths and then
you can change that 2 a.m.
or wall whatever drive if they should be
rdy driving to make a 2d drive again
