Save your data to your network drive (H:/) or a personal storage device
Each student is provided with personal disk space on the network, which can be accessed from any computer on campus. Your personal space is on the “H:\” drive, where you can create new folders and store your documents. Note that computers are equipped with CD/DVD burners for your use. USB ports are enabled for your personal external storage devices.
Warning: If you save documents on the “C” drive (C:\) of the lab computer and you restart the machine, your data will be lost permanently.
The current configuration of all computers in student labs ensures the computer is cleaned and put back to its original state each time it is restarted. This means that any configuration changes, software installs, downloads or course work saved to the C:\ drive are deleted when the computer is restarted.
To Save a File to your Network Storage (H:/ drive):
- Click Save in the software you are using.
- When the "Save As" dialoog box appears, click on the "Save in" drop-down menu.
- Locate the H:/ drive and select it.
- Save your files in this location.
You will now be able to access these files form any computer you login to on campus.
