Ugh...I had to reformat the hard drive on my laptop

I got home from training my mom and my laptop spazzed out and I had to do a recovery/reformat :(  I'm hoping to god that I have the pics of our Disney vacation from 07 on CD or on another computer. 

Re: Ugh...I had to reformat the hard drive on my laptop

  • Ugh, I'm sorry!  That's the worst.  Having suffered not one, but TWO hard drive deaths in less than a year, we went out after the second one and bought an external hard drive specifically for backing up all of our pictures.  Hope you find yours!!!
  • I'm so sorry.  That sucks.  I really hope you are able to get your pictures.  Good luck!  Fingers crossed that you can find them.

    We have an external hard drive as backups too but we also back up with dvds and keep it on the computer.  I know some people are just putting them on externals, but remember that a backup is just that, you want multiple copies because I've had externals go too.

  • Oh that stinks Jen!!!  I hope you are able to recover the pictures.  Computers are such a pain. 
  • Thank god for Shutterfly!  I just remembered to check to see if I had uploaded all of our Disney pics and I did!!!  Yay!!!! 
  • Yay, I'm glad you still have them!

  • Have you looked into Carbonite? It is $50 a year and backs up everything as you work on it.  We are currently in the midst of our free trial and so far so good.  I am planning to get an external also, but this is great in the mean time.  It also can't burn down in a fire or get eaten by a dog or anything else since it is backed up in cyber space.

  • I'll have to check that out Jen...especially because I think part of the problem is that this laptop is on its 9th life :)
