No. surely the surely thanks to do what you're asking is to make certain a JBOD RAID and also you would might want to reinstall your operating device. there's a small risk you may make an image of your cutting-edge homestead windows set up and write that to the RAID once you position it up, yet i'm no longer particular about that. in spite of everything, i'd not recommend a JBOD... There are some diverse issues that you may want to do. What i might want to do is clone your C stress for your new stress and then make higher that volume to comprise something else of the disk (i'll assume that your new stress is larger than your previous). Then boot out of your new stress, format your previous stress and use it for information or back ups. Edit: except your 2 not straightforward drives are similar, utilising RAID 0 might want to be a really undesirable theory. no longer that RAID 0 is truly ever an outstanding theory...except you've redundant information backup. even as RAID 0 fails for very almost any reason, you're usually left with a one hundred% and basically about continuously unrecoverable lack of all information. RAID 0 with out backup is Russian roulette... it is largely a sturdy theory for OS and classes with ALL information saved on a separate stress or array. _

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus and protect your PC. but you need to pay for the software.



i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.



besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.



firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.



download firefox for free:

are you sure its a virus? what makes you think that? and why did you partition you drive you should have formatted it to be guarnteed success almost. or boot into safe mode and try to do a scan of your computer for the virus and se if this helps. it could be a simple case of it being spyware. I would also recommend that you don't just restore your pc as many viuses hide in these files so I would turn that off as well for the time being. you will be better of with broaban in future but I guess maybe asking a mate or neighbour to lend you there connection to ownload upto date tools would be a good idea.

If you secure your computer and maintain it, use smart choices in the programs and habits you use, your computer will last longer than the 3 - 4 years it's designed to last.



Let's start from the outside in -



Router

This works like a hardware firewall. The router doesn't respond to most of the "are you there?" tactics hackers use. If some hacker's scanning for victims and manages to find you despite the security ... they'll see the router not your computer.



If it's a wireless router - secure it, secure it, secure it! Change the admin password. Put an encrypted password to connect. Look up all the ways to secure your particular router. Write down the settings.



Computer



Firewall

You need one. Yes, you do. And no, Microsoft's is NOT enough. Get Zonealarm, it's free.



Browser

This is how most people see the internet. There's a high chance you're using the "blue e" aka Internet Explorer. This is not a good habit as IE hasn't been worked on (beyond fixes to problems people complain loudly about) in YEARS. It's big, slow, out-of-date, allows all kinds of nasties in, insecure, inflexible, and a major target for hackers.



Get Firefox - it's also free, sleek, faster, more secure, blocks pop-ups, is very customizable, easy to use, and once you start using tabs... you'll get frustrated with IE.

There are also very simple ways to NEVER see a banner / iframe / image ad again - it's an add-on to Firefox called Adblock Plus. I also recommend the automatic filter for Adblock - Filterset.G Updater. All free



Other programs that find stuff on the net (file sharing, instant messengers) are also a security risk. I don't know what you have / use, so I'd recommend looking up "securing thenameoftheprogram" on google.



Get and install all updates to all your programs - Windows, your browser, your anti-virus, your anti-spyware, your router, you name it.



Ok, now we get to do the clean up part:



Anti-virus

Viruses can look through your computer, send your info to nasty people, fill up your hard drive, fry your computer... the list is endless.

I recommend AVG



Anti-spyware

Spyware / Adware / Malware are under the same category. Spyware watches what you do and sends the info to someone else. Adware shows you pop-ups regardless of your security settings. Malware is all of the above and more.

Ad-aware, Spyware Blaster and Spybot Search & Destroy are my recommendations and the Uninstall programs you don't use.



Download "CCleaner" to find the files that are just clutter (temporary files, browser histories, browser caches, etc)



Get into the habit of defragging and checking your disk for errors (both are options under "My Computer", right click on your hard drive, choose "properties", click on the "tools") twice a month. You may want look up how to automate this through Scheduled Tasks.



Protect your computer from yourself and others:



Make each user on your computer their own Windows profile - and only give them (and yourself) limited accounts.

The only time you need full (admin) access is to install programs.



Make each person password protect their account.



Get into the habit of changing ALL your passwords once a month. Don't write down your passwords in a place others can find / use. Make passwords that use both numbers and letters and that are hard for anyone else to guess - I recommend keyboard patterns.



Do yourself a huge favour and get a UPS - uninteruptable power supply. This goes one step beyond a power surge protecter and gives you time to shut down the computer, saves your router, etc from losing their settings or being fried by power fluctuations.



I have a legal and moral obligation to keep my pc 100% clean. And I use an antivirus/spyware program out of Beijing, China.

http://www.filseclab.com -- This program has kept me 100% clean for the past nine years.

Twister Anti-Trojan Virus is absolute state of the art technology that has a real time scanner

that really works. Will scan your memory on start up and continues to run in the background

while you use your pc. Plus this software uses very little CPU resources.

Some examples of how great this program is. If you open a webpage and there is a virus or

spyware embedded in the webpage the scanner will catch the virus in a second and clean.

If you download any type of file including music or a zip file and there is hidden embedded

virus in the file the download will stop and the Twister will clean and stop the download.

I had an experience where the software I download the company used another installer other

then their own. The installer had hidden embedded virus in the installer program. Twister found it and cleaned, plus ended the installation and traced it back to the installer software.

(I wrote the original software company and they now use their own installer).

What is really great is that you only pay a small one time fee for life. You will get frequent

large signature updates,excellent support and they never charge you for any new versions.

There are many other features as auto downloads, and the ability to fix all type of problems with your registry or windows.

The chinese don't believe in the annual fee or paying of new versions like most of the other software companies want to be paid over and over for the original purchase.



I use Zone Alarm free firewall (http://www.zonealarm.com). As a backup even though I have ADSL.I use ewido antispyware / malware. www.grisoft.com --Ewido was purchased by AVG. Ewido is free and will protect you from rogue dialers.

You could always buy a 2nd hard disk, re-install Window$/LInux, then copy the data from the old hard disk to the new one. Then scan those files with an up-to-date virus scanner.



Doing this give you a data back up, too!
