ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Backup your drives!

Postby Stuart Holmes » Mon Feb 23, 2009 3:32 pm

Anyone who's seen my posts will know that I've just built a new computer for FS duties.

I'd just got it all running sweet, after about 3 weeks of constant fiddling, fettling and swearing.

Last night, my OS disk went Bang.

ALWAYS make a backup, otherwise you'll be posting, just like I am right now, on your laptop while you watch windows install on a new drive.

I know that feeling all to well I'm afraid. I'm sorry for your loss. :'(

The good thing is, once you make a mistake like this, you shouldn't have to worry about it happening again.
