Assuming that you can not find someone in your building tell you which fuses in the box are for your apartment, so you can replace them with new ones.... you are going to have to either call an electrician, or you can take out the fuses from the box and probably cut the power to the other...

Hi Liza, nope, I didn't announce anything for this week, or last. I've had a touch of the flu. So, I will see you are Clarence's if I'm feeling better, Allan

I second jaredw's advice. I've used Western Digital 1 Terabyte external drives as backup for several years now. After getting a drive, the next thing you need to do, is decide on which backup software to make your backups with. These external drives come with backup software usually. Try...
