Just a reminder…..Back your System Up now!
Back it up in SEVERAL places…not just one…..Trust me on this one!
Well, I just found out that I’ve managed to >NUKE< about 3 to 5
YEARS worth of files, pictures, bookmarks, Etc. because I didn’t follow the advise above.
I have been putting off the upgrade to XP for some time now, as my older system was working fairly well. I had finally decided to “Take the plunge” and was backing up all of my important data on the 20gig drive I
>ALWAYS< use for this purpose.
Needless to say, the drive, or should I say the partition is toast.
Yes, I’ve used just about every recovery program to try to recover it…
I even blew $30 for a new one….that could “see” the partition….nope..I’m hosed!
It’s truly gone….. I can’t recover the data.
If I had followed my own advice, I would have backed up on RW/DVD or something similar, but I got lazy….Pure and simple. It was too inconvenient to take the time to do so, and now I’m paying for it.
Son-of-a-B**CH!
One of these days…..I’ll learn…..but obviously, not today.
Don’t be a bonehead like me!
Back your Crap up.
