I acted like a dumbass and wiped out my hard drive, I did manage to backup the really important stuff that's irreplaceable. The only things I lost that I can't replace really are old emails and my web bookmarks, but the bookmarks are coming back to me slowly. So who else has pulled this same move or has lost a large portion of there stuff? It'd be comforting to hear some other peoples stories.

Ugh. Thoughts like this make me cringe and worry about backing my shit up. I only had one major hard drive crash, thank god. It was years ago, I had this 4GB drive (yeah, and I think I paid $400 for it)...I did some stupid shit and accidently wiped it out. All my roms and shit were GONE. I actually cried. It was horrible.

| Yes, the bookmarks come back to one pretty quickly, with google assists as necessary. I'm on a five year old machine that caught some bug about eight months ago. Since then it's collapsed twice, and acts like another is imminent. But I've been backing up about twice a month for ages, and put most of my stuff on two external drives. The biggest pain is losing all the preferences and drivers and stuff like that. Man I hate tweaking all the software for the peripherals like printers, burners, scanners. So, I feel for you, but I think you'll get over it fairly soon. At this point I've grown to expect the damn thing to collapse sooner or later. |

Sorry to hear you had some trouble. This is the very reason to have a DVD burner. It doesn't take long for an Outlook archive to grow larger than what a CD can hold and besides, bigger is better baby. Having a home network also makes for a good backup system. And a great gaming system! Woot!
