Silently Screaming!!!

[angelwithin]

omg i've had a total system crash, lost everything that wasnt yet backed up on my external drive, my 2nd internal drive is lost too (more missing files) soooo if you dont see me for a while it's because i'm trying to re-install all my software :(

[NanaC95565]

oh, that is really frustrating. That happened to me about 4 months ago. I had most of it backed but there was some things I was working on I hadn't yet backed up... I know the feeling.. Good luck.. and hope to see you around more.

[sacannon]

Oh no Fiona, that's aweful!!! I hope you didn't loose any creations you didn't have in the store yet. That is a lot of work!

[twpclerk]

Oh so sorry Fiona, hope you didn't loose too much and you can recover everything.

What are (were) the symptoms? To have 2 hard drives fail at the same time is unusual, unless you had a massive surge in your home's electrical system (mains), a motherboard failure or a computer power supply failure.

If it's motherboard or computer power supply, your data may be retrievable... well, it would be to some extent retrievable in any case, but here in the States, data recovery services are very pricey.

BTW, a few years ago, I had a computer "failure" on my current unit that turned out to be a loose connection between the computer power supply and the motherboard. The connector on one of the 2 bundles between the power supply and the board had come loose.

So sorry for you Fiona, hope you can manage it !

[eye]

Awe what a shame.darn computers have a mind of there own.good luck.

[Smile]

Whow Angel............that sounds like alot of work...especially for someone like you who is so darn creative ......there is no way that we can do without you........I wish I could help but I am lucky just to turn this thing on and off and find what I am looking for. I don't even know what an external drive is and I don't want to know.......you can't teach an old dog new tricks ....I am proof of that ...........I can suggest that you have yourself a nice glass of wine and beat up your husband.....that works for me.......:eek:

[O2BNGdHope]

I have my fingers crossed everytime someone says this. I'm so worried about mine. Hope you get it fixed and everything is still there.

Smile, LOVE that blinkie!!! I want to shake my computer sometimes, too!

[scrappyaggie48]

[Wickel]

[angelwithin]

[*eng*]

Oh what a relief, hope you manage to recover more though. How did we ever manage without pooters lol :)

[Granny]

Ah, kid, so sorry to hear this. I pickecd up a trojan horse last week, and I'm still trying to get rid of it. I did send you a link to a really funny vide just now... After you crashed your puter, so it was not me, ok? :p

Please, every one, make sure you scan anything you get from me. I don't think you will get the virus, but you can never be too careful.

[crops2dawn]

I heard you all the way over here... it's not a silent scream...lol

Glad to hear you got most things back!!!

[wolvsie35]

Fiona, I just saw this thread, and I am so sorry..I will email you later today...<wink> I hope you didn't lose to much...:)

[pkdoll]

Fiona!!!!!!! I feeeelll sooo bad for you. But I am glad that you didn't lose too much and that you are getting things back up and running. It is always devastating when the computer crashes. I know I should back up more often but it's so time consuming that I too procrastinate on getting it done. I need to get more diligent about it. Thinking of you and hoping everything goes well.

[LindaPete]

Bummer Fiona, hope the recovery process is successful! We'll miss you while you are getting things rebuilt!

[MarthaT]

Bummer Fiona, hope the recovery process is successful! We'll miss you while you are getting things rebuilt!

Sorry to be late about this ;), but Hope everything comes back to normal as Linda says
