Hard Drive Totally Crashed
September 1st, 2006 | Posted in Web Design |
My hard drive finally crashed. I never thought it would really happen, and I didn’t have my files backed up. Oh well. I think I’ll take it to a data recovery service. It crashed so bad that it clicks now when you try to boot up. The computer is a Gateway — I don’t recommend them. Only 1.5 years old.

wow, the recovery service is at least $650. This will teach me a lesson!

Yes my friend the cost of a second harddrive whose only purpose is to backup data is far less that the price of the data lost. I almost lost a bunch of data this month too, so I can talk a whole lot. Lightning hit my pc, again, so I’m thinking that my backup data hd is going to be in an external case that I connect once a week and then backup. Then disconnect the USB cable, power cable, everything from the external case so that lightning can’t touch it.
DATA is too valuable.
Good luck,
Mark

Lo and behold, I found my backup CDs, so I have been able to recover all my data. In the 2 months of not having access to any of the files, there wasn’t anything I missed. I think the same can be true of much of our household junk. We clutter our lives with useless things and information that we think is essential, but when it is removed from our lives, it doesn’t seem to matter.
