Lucky. The 7-month old hard drive on my work computer died on Tuesday. And, no, my computer at work is more than 7 months old: that's the second dead drive on that machine. This one at least wasn't a total failure: I was able to rescue the important stuff without too much trouble. (Though I still have 400 some files to wade through in the saved drives "lost+found"... it seems like useless stuff like cookies, temp files and such.) The last one was a total failure. Needless to say, I bought a new USB external drive and immediately backed up my music at home.... (And to complete the irony: the power went off at home for almost an hour yesterday.... while I was backing up... Didn't lose anything... this time.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24190 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
