I was down to 36 KB free on my 160 GB c:\ drive the other day, I've already deleted over 10 GB of things I really wanted to keep and would prefer to not have to delete anything else.

I was ready to start burning my videos to DVD to free up some space (I received my 100 DVD-Rs and 400 disc DVD player where my 130GB of videos will go leaving me that much free space on my c. So I burned my first one and test it in the DVD player only to find another problem in Nero, for some reason it reverted to the 1st frame of each of the 7 videos for the menu buttons instead of the frames I spent 30 minutes choosing out of each video, so I'm now installing ULead DVD maker (whatever it's called) onto my printer's card read with nearly 1 GB free (it won't fit in my hard drive).

But I'm now wondering if there's anyway I can upgrade my worst than horrible condition pc before doing this, the problem is I have RAID 0 so I assume as soon as the drives are disconnected from this mobo all my data is gone, so I can't upgrade. I would normally backup to my 90 GB Sony tapes but the nvdia chipset won't let me use my tape drive so it's been a decoration for the 2 years I've had this mobo from hell.

Is there anyway I can upgrade my PC while keeping my data? Or should I try to burn my DVDs with the PC in this condition (it works fine but takes 3-6 hours to convert the videos for 1 disc, I have around 20 DVDs worth to burn).

Now before anyone says it, I very well know a computer can't run properly with 0.000001% free space, I know it's crazy to have to install software onto my printer because of this, and I know I should have a backup (I did backup my most improtant things to my pocket pc), but my current situations prevents me from doing any of that. If the potentially great NeroVision Express program didn't have so many bugs that I have to make a 5 page long checklist of bugs to make sure I worked around them all then I wouldn't be in this mess, but having hundreds of videos to burn, I'm not going through that long a checklist for each, too bad because I really wanted to like NeroVision, hopefully ULead will be better.
