Yesterday my hard drive crashed. I had a new one and took it to someone to be repaired. I could have done the swap myself, but before I could make a Ghost copy of the mater drive to my slave drive, the master drive stopped functioning completely. I was hoping the repairman could do something to save my data.
The repairman called me late this afternoon and said he couldn't do anything to save my data, because the hard drive is shot. He told me he did install a new operating system and the computer was working fine. I pretty much knew that before I took it to him, but was hoping he could do something anyway. It cost me $200 for something I could have done myself. Oh well, lesson learned.
Some of the bad news is that I lost all my email records and email address book, my bookmarks for Firefox and also have to install a ton of software. You can see the stack of CD's I have to install in the picture above in addition to all the downloaded programs I use. There is some good news. I saved the downloaded program files on my slave drive. That means I don't have to download them again, just install them.
I also copied the bookmarks to my laptop right after I bought it, so I didn't loose most of them. I've copied them back to my desktop computer. I did loose some great bookmarks to some awesome porno movie sites I recently found. Great stuff. They have a lot of free 20 and 30 minute movies with excellent resolution and quality.
Now listen to me, I vow not to rest until I locate those sites again! I remember they were web sites in Denmark so at least I have it narrowed down to one country. I could have a long night ahead of me.
PS
Sorry that the picture isn't of better quality. I only managed to take a couple of pictures before my camera battery died. At least I hope it just died and my camera didn't crap out too.
