Quote from: cloudman on March 16, 2012, 02:20 amNewb question, but after I get this working from the usb do I really need to erase my harddrive and all my movies pics and music and programs?You don't have to delete your binary files like pictures, movies, music, documents etc. It's the records of the operating system and potentially suspect things like having the TOR bundle and files related to SR you need to be worried about.Quote from: cloudman on March 16, 2012, 02:20 amI have only been browsing SR and forums so far on Windows 7 with the tor bundle. I havent actually got btc or ordered yet, but I am ready to but some goodies but I want to be smart about it, I am just kinda poor and cant afford a new laptop or an external HDD even. But that would be the best thing right, copy everything I wanna keep to an external then secure erase the drive and reinstall?Yes. In your case, if you have a decent internet connection, you might upload your stuff to some manner of cloud service for safekeeping. However, you might have too much data for that, in which case you'll need to borrow an external HD or something. Also, you will need to buy a USB flash drive to run Liberte from.
