Get Data One connection And open a gmail account then up load all the stuff to the gmail site Reformat/boil / burn / drop/jump on your HDD and once you have done it you can download the data back.
Dude have you gone bonkers?You expect him to upload 30GB's stuff over a 1gb email account?pradeep_chauhan said:
Above that gmail considers that as a breach of agreement on the users part as it clearly states its not a storage medium.There have been quite a number of email account lockouts for a temp period because of this reason.

hell yea!!! lets get dataone which has a 400MB limit and upload 30GB...then, when we r done formatting, we will download 30GB again...even if they wont charge u 4 overuse, they will just disbable ur account 4 overuse...rather, abuse of ur connection...thats 60GB of data transfer...

i seriously dont recommend this idea....as for using norton ghost the configuration and specs of ur hard disk and must exactly match the other hard disk....which will be a very rare case....unless u find a friend who just happens to have a exact same hard disk config as urs and is willing to loose his data and back up ur data...lol
and in the event that anything goes wrong if the specs dun match then u'll definetly end up screwing both ur original as well as the second hard disk 
Also 30Gb is way too much data pal....theres no other way other than attaching another secondary hard disk and then transferring the data to it

Get one of ur friends HDD fr a day copy the data on it. Reformat ur HDD.(now this time be wise and create partions). Retransfer data frm ur friends HDD to urs. Return ur friends HDD with thank*members.shaw.ca/wpf/misc_expressions/yeah.gif

Well, I can think of only 3 things.
1. To either take the HDD to a friend's place, dump the data, reformat properly this time around with partitions, install the OS and copy the data back.
2. Use Partition Magic to create a partition on the free space, dump the data there and proceed.
3. I suppose you can convert the entire disk to a Dynamic Volume if you're using Windows 2000/XP/2003 and then create a volume on it, dump the data there.

upload and download 30 GB of DATA!!!! only a MAD MAN WOULD DO IT!!!!better copy it into a HDD of a friend.. or sumthin..
ya u can do that and that very easy with Windows XP. Actually Windows XP allows you to do exactly what u want to do.
First of all, check that you have those movies and mp3 of your in the My documents folder under your <user account name folder>.
Next, pop in the installtion CD of Window XP into your CD-Rom drive and ofcourse set it to be the first boot device, now restart windows, let your computer boot from the CD, accept the EULA and instead of doing a clean installtion of XP just opt for the UPGRADE installtion, u will be given an option before actuall installtion starts to retain your previous files and settings, select that option. Also don't format instead choose to lease the file system as it is. Now proseed. You are done. Your files in the My documents folder will remain as it is. This is the only solution i guess will work for you. ( others are right if u still want to clean format your hdd )
