Now is the time to RUN to a store that has a good refund policy. While you're at the store, buy a CD-R/W drive and a 10-pack of disks. Also buy a Zip drive, and when you get home copy all of your data onto CD-R/W disks. After you are done, return the Zip drive to the store for full refund.

You shouldn't need more than 5 CD's to backup 28 Zip disks. Total cost? $5-$10 or so for the CD media used. If you find a good rebate sale on CD-R's (not hard to do), your cost could be even free. The cost of an IDE CD-R/W drive is really low now. Check out www.pricewatch.com to see what I mean.

I have a file cabinet full of CD-R's that contain Several Gigbytes of backups...and I NEVER worry about Click of Death.

Good luck.
