I'd like to wipe my HDD to get a clean start. Yet I have around 250gigs of music and like 75gigs of games I'd like to keep.
What2do exactly.

If you have an external HDD you can always put that stuff onto that. And just put it back when you're done. Or if you have good internet I know they have online data storage for mass quantities of files. May cost you time or money.

No external, no cash.

But that's it for free online storage. And that's only 50 GB.

How to wipe? There should be a default program somewhere on your computer on formatting/wiping your HDD.
-
There's also a default program for internet on my computer.. but I don't use that... >..>

DON'T FUCKING DO IT.
YOUR GRAPHICS CARD WILL....
fuck it, here:
1) Buy a 1TB external hard drive
2) Drag and drop your C:\ drive (YES, EVERYTHING) into the 1TB hard drive
3) Incase shit goes wrong, you have your C:\ back up to image all the files onto your comp. (just run it using the ex. drive)
-
external drive Or copy on DVD.
-
No External + no Cash =
Delete what you dont want.
end

I want to wipe it because there's probably hidden shit on there slowing my computer down.
I defragged, and went through and deleted everything I didn't want, and that only freed up 50gigs or so.
250-300gigs =music
50ish = games
It's a 750 gig hard drive. I mean yeah there's probably some other files on there but 400gigs of it? Nah...
-
Fuck it, just delete everything.
-
If you want to wipe it, you have to reinstall windows.
You put the windows CD in, restart the computer, it should load from CD.
It will give you the option to install windows (not repair or recover) and to do so it requires a hard drive format which will wipe it clean and format it all nice and neat and a totally blank slate for it to install windows onto.
As for backing up that much data you either need an external hard drive, or a regular hard drive plugged in as a second drive to copy your files onto. both cost money, so youre fucked if you cant spend any money on this.
-
Well I didn't pay money to fill it up, i'm not paying money to clear it.
Anyway, the music site I use tracks all torrents I downloaded, so I could redownload them.
Same with steam. I guess I could just delete everything, but there's probably shit on there I would need soon as I delete it. Kind of like when you throw something away and wish you didn't a week later..

yerrh sounds good

the new steam cloud saves settings and whatnot for most steam supported games...but it doesnt do shit for any of the mods like ZPS which would probably be important to you =P

Exactly. >.> So all my emulators.. and their save data.. Q_Q

Already used "Ccleaner"? It removes lots of temporarily Internet files, and other stuff. Assuming you watch lots of p0r... Love video's it's very useful to remove your temp files. I don't know how much you play different gamemodes, and downloading stuff from garrysmod.org. but that would fill up your HDD very much to.
Try to delete all of your old music files, and old games (U can always re-download them).
Set your music folder into details, click the date tab. remove your oldest music.
Let's be honest, you don't listen to all of them right? O_O
Still not useful information, then i give up.
