Crash and Burned!

2006.12.31

OUCH! Came back in today to upload some pics from my camera to my PC and my HDD packed it in. I'm back up and running with a new harddrive but now the priority is to salvage as much info as possible from the old drive. I'll consider myself fortunate to get my daughters pics back, and everything else is a bonus. Here is your reminder to backup folks.

Should be back up and posting in a day or two.

Cheers!

Richard That is ouch! I'm feeling you pain. I should really learn from this I brought a DVD-RW about six months ago, but still haven't used it. :(

JuliaGotz So sorry to hear! Often technicians can save most if not all files from a crashed drive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

LondonShutter I'm not overly upset since I have nobody to blame but myself. My drive has been dying a slow drawn out death and was giving me warnings months ago. I was going to replace it this month, it just put an exclamation point on it for me. I'm running some recovery software right now and have big faith that I will get a lot back.

Moral of the story - BACKUP YOUR DATA! And when you start getting regular sector failures, backup that drive and get it out pronto.
