Re: HD crash...
My hard drive croaked yesterday and I'll be rather busy the next few days trying to restore things. Most important, Wesworld related items were backed up a couple of weeks ago, so there is minimal loss there.
I feel your pain, everything in my computer has been replaced for one reason or another. HD, motherboard, graphics card and CD-Rom have all been replaced.
The HD crash was the worst though, I lost alot of drawings when that happened. Hopefully the bulk of your stuff was saved.
I burned my entire Wesworld directory to disk two weeks ago. The one good side of not being able to see that well is that I haven't done much work since then. I think I only lost one file, and a couple updates to reports that i can reconstitute easily. Right now I'm running XP on a seven year old 12 Gigger that came out of an old Gateway. Over the weekend I'll go HD shopping. Then its a matter of rebuilding from disks, etc...
Lucky me I never sufferred a HD crash.
Back ups are an important thing. I have all my WesWorld stuff on
a) my desktop
b) my laptop and
c) on an external 80GB TrakStor USB drive I use now and then.
Even if things are not always up to date on all drives it is highly unlikely I´ll ever suffer a total loss of my data.
I've been pondering picking up an external USB hard drive myself. It may be a good idea.
With USB 1.1, they're extremely slow to transfer stuff, just so you're warned.
With the Abaccus 4000 BC here aging, and it's now limited storage space, I've added an external hard drive myself. I picked up a 160 gig My Book for $100 US. And while I'm on USB 1.1, it's worked great since I installed it.
What I really need next is a USB splitter, since the PC only has three USB ports and I now have 6 USB devices...
My last computer had USB ports up the ying yang, 4 IIRC. 600mghz just wasn't enough for gaming however.
