That really sucks, man. I've had to reformat a few times, and I don't have any way of backing things up other than a floppy drive.

I just make sure I don't really have anything that important on my computer. Sure, I have music, but half of it I don't really listen to that much, and if I felt the urge to listen to something, I can just download it again if I don't already have the CD. Games? I rarely play anything not online anymore, so it's not much of an issue, and if I do lose some saved games, its not the end of the world. I probably should back up the stuff I've written for school, but even if I lose that, I probably still have the hard copies floating around somewhere.

If you do usually store stuff on your computer that is really that important, it probably is a good idea to invest in a CDR drive or a ZIP drive. At this point, you could probably get one for under $50, and it's probably worth it just to ease your mind.
