Re: Disk Cleanup - Windows File ProtectionIt says:
Before you install this update, we recommend that you:
-Back up your system
-Close all open programs
That means I'm going to have put all my files on to another hard drive anyway? -

Re: Disk Cleanup - Windows File ProtectionChances of it failing are really low, as you'll be able to recover anything really important in other ways should the worst happen. If you have anything really important (like a dissertation or final report etc) then back that up to make sure.

I ordered a Western Digital hard drive (160GB): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294
Do you think I should cancel it? 'Cause I don't really need it, I just ordered it today to back up all my files so I could reinstall Windows for this reason...
