I'm always telling others to have backups and always be prepared for a pc crash. If only I had followed my own advice

Sorry to hear that. But you reminded me that I haven't backed up in quite a while.

*Cries for you*

Been there, done that. On my next pc I'm definitely buying two identical hard drives and setting up raid so the primary is cloned.

Good, maybe something good will come out of my pc's demise.

I can't even begin to describe what all I lost! Not only that but I have always relied on my account info to be remembered by my browser so, I have NO access to anything until I go through all the headaches of having account info reset.

Graphics, about 250 gigs. Old photos to be retouched, at least 200 gigs. Programs (registered) about 30 different programs I use for graphics, video editing, sound editing, and more.

Makes me want to throw up!

If it's important enough to you, there are places that will recover data.

So are you saying your HD crashed, rather than the PC ?

In that case, as Kevin states, if its imprtant enough, there are data recovery firms that can work wonders on so called crashed drives.

The hard drive is toast. It actually burnt the board that is visible on the underside of the hard drives case. After killing the power to the pc I could still detect the burnt electrical smell. I tried a usb hard drive adapter on two different lap tops. Neither of which could even detect the hard drive.

The pc was 9 years old. I should have known better that to trust that it would last much longer.

Well, I don't think that would stop them. They would hook up another controller board. But I guess it probably isn't inexpensive.

I'm taking it to town tomorrow to see if anything can be retrieved from it. If it's very expensive, I'll just take the loss. Spring is coming so maybe I'll just spend my time at the lake and not worry about it

kh99 · #10 03-15-2015, 06:45 PM

Mmm...I don't know a lot about it, but if it's got burnt electronics it probably would need to be sent away somewhere. The lake idea is probably good.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go start that backup...
