[Trainer-Talk] laptop storage advice

Sarah:


You might give the Microsoft Disability Answer Line a try. 800-936-5900.


With your permission they will log on to your computer and assist you in 
investigating the issue. Often if it's a software issue they can help 
resolve problems. They are off shore, so a bit of patients and careful 
listening helps a lot.

> Sarah, about a year ago, I had what sounds like a similar problem to the one you are describing. It turned out that there was some kind of virus, I believe, that was replicating files over time, meaning a few years. I don’t remember exactly what the person who discovered it did remotely to make that stop happening, but it took him a while to do it.

I only use the laptop for my job as a reporter and to write novels. I've backed the files up to a flash drive. Is there anything else I can do until I can buy a laptop with more storage? Could I write some things using my focus 14 blue since it has an SD card slot? Thank you.

>> Hi,

>> Does your laptop have a dvd drive or is it too small to include one?
>> Find out your laptop brand & model then search for a 2.5" dvd drive caddy.
>> You can mount something like a 1tb 2.5" hard drive in the caddy then slide
>> it into your dvd slot instead of the original dvd drive.
