General Computers - ALWAYS Make Emergency Disks

Do you make emergency boot disks? You know, the disks that you make in case for some unknown reason you can't access your computer? If so, good for you; go ahead and skip this tip. If not,

You're asking for trouble! Ever had a virus infect your system? Ever had your computer's hard drive 'forget' the FAT table or partition table? Ever had your operating system make a 'mistake' in the system configuration? Errors like these can and do happen, and not just to those who love 'tinkering' with a system.

Does your operating system have an option to make an emergency boot or recovery disk? If so, use it. If not, find out from a local computer guru how to make a recovery disk. Even if you never have to use such disks, you'll feel more comfortable having one at your side.
