He tried that already if I am not mistakenHey Nivagely. Are you on SP1 for Win7?. 32 or 64bit. I assume you tried a different port on the router. I myself would power down, unplug power, press the power button a few times, then reseat the network card. If it doesn't work, I would try the wireless card (or if you can get hold of a wireless USB adapter and disconnect the network cable) and see if you can make any progress. I'm wondering if you don't have some type of infection that is blocking Web access, or maybe a corrupt Hosts file.

That's nothing compared to the hassle of trying to recover data from a failed drive. No drive lasts forever and when it fails maybe you can recover your data, maybe you can't.But couldn't really go through the hassle of backing up about 1 TB of data
You implied your data wasn't backed up. Maybe I misunderstood.
You don't really have to back up your Steam games since you can always download them fresh from Steam. As for any saved games on your local hard drive, if you wanted to save them and if you had a place to store them, you just go to the saved games folder of the particular game and copy them. I only bring this up as a point of information. You handle it as you see fit, of course.
