Thats the price (~ 3k ) I was expecting. Not getting that price in Mumbai.
One good thing is, I found out that I can discard most of the data and can live wihtout it. Only importent thing was my email folder that has emails from 96 onwards. So I am using my laptop till I get the PC to work.
Have now uploaded all of them to GMail. MTNL's free upload and GMails 2.7 GB mailbox helps a lot
With all that I can put off this purchase till I visit my HomeTown next time.
What irks me is the tendecy of shopkeepers here to charge higher then rest of India.[/b]
There have been reports recently of some users losing ALL the mail in Gmail - So dont rely so much on it.

. So, at present all my data is on net.With DVD writers costing just 2100 , why dont you ppl buy one. You can take backups of your important data. Dont depend on online backups , you dunno when they will be gone. Ever read the EULA when you signup for such a service?IDE 160 GB costs 2800 with SATA one costing 2950BTW saw a external 360 GB seagate HDD , which connects thru USB port , costs around 6000 
, very good for ppl who want to take backups

As a rule i never store anything in C: , i even change the path of My documents and put a shortcut on desktop to which i save all my downloads 
. So that helps when i have to re-intall windows.I dont have online backups of my files , cause i dont think my files are that important , all my important files are backed up in CD's. I thought of buying a tape drive , but the cost was way too much

Problem is, neither DVD nor Online back is a sure shot solution.
DVDs can go bad even if you have stored them properly.
And as you mentioned online services do not guaranty safety of your data.
Having multiple online backups is one of the solutions.
