Ok so i have a nasty slew of viruses on my computer.

fortunately for me, i have a ghost program that can wipe my computer to the state that it was at when i purchased it.

However there are a few files i wish to keep.

They are very big and will not fit of my flash drives or DVD's.

Is there a way that i can keep these files, after wiping my computer, if so , explain.

I am computer stupid, so dumb it down for me to understand what to do.

Thanks.

Well, you have a few options. First, you could transfer the files to a different computer. Second, you could get a massive flash drive. I saw a 16GB one for $40 on Newegg. Third, you could buy another internal HDD or an external drive and put the files on there. I suppose, if the files are under 9GB, you could also burn them to dual-layer DVDs.

If you're computer stupid, how exactly do you know what a ghost program is? =P

Okay, well do any of those suggestions solve your problem?

Also, if I may ask, what are these files which are so large that they can't fit on a DVD? Blu-Ray rips?
