Mike Hughes
Former Board Administrator
And now I'm screwed.
Satuday morning, something happened to my operating system. I'm not sure what, as I have not opened any attachments or installed anything.
Anyway, I can't access a single thing on my new ( 3 month old ) laptop. Currently, I'm using my son's computer ( my old one ).
I have access to recent Quickbooks backups (on floppy), but everything else would be lost..........emails, address book entries recently added, calendar events, favorites, and a couple of projects I've been working on in Word/Excel.
Lucky for me, my uncle is in the computer business and one of his friends is coming over tomorrow afternoon to remove the hard drive from my laptop and extract the files. Then I'll run a system restore and begin the process of installing/restoring everything. Hopefully he'll be able to recover the data.
Moral of the story....................BACK IT UP!
