I really hate computer problems…

May 20th, 2008

I know I spend too much time on the Computer… but I really enjoy having my online community…

But when things go wrong, it is hard…

Last week my external hard drive failed… or died more like it… …

it was mostly a back up but I had also been putting pics directly on it before transfering them to the other computer so when it failed I had a months worth of pics that were not backed up… and there were a few other things like that an though it is frustrating, they were not as important…

So I spent the weekend, the long weekend at that, backing up my computer onto another external drive and then reinstalling everything again…

I have to redo my music collection over again (all the music was still on Simon’s computer but the things that I had customized were not…  even that is not too bad though it is a bit time consuming…

what bothers me the most though are the pics that I lost…

I was able to recover a few from recovering the pics on my camera’s CF card but there are some that I couldn’t get back….

The problem with these machines are that they can hold so much of our lives in them and then fail without warning…

    This happened to me too… I had there only unimportant things, but as I remembered more and more things which I will never see again, it was frustrating… Now I would like to buy a big Flash drive and copy there the most important things… just for the case anything happens…
