Another one bites the dust

My computer hates me. Seriously. I reformatted 1 of my eternal hard drives only about 3 weeks ago and because it was the best out of the 2 externals I decided that was the one where I should back-up all of my vid projects trimmed files to. Oh what a mistake that was! It's cost me dearly. Saved projects, tutorials, digital juice files - gone. Thank ---- I have the master AVI's. RIP drive you have served me well. I do wish you had given me some warning you were ill though, and then I might have been able to help... or at least taken the burden of my files from you.

Damn.

ETA: I think I jinxed it by mentioning the vid yesterday...

Commiserations Charmax - I think I would have shrieked liked a maniac.

*scurries off to back up her system to the network*

Thanks Andrea I am glad I serve as a warning to others. I am the big, sulky lighthouse of computer misfortune. I think it was a casualty of the heatwave. I just hope it is going to be the only one.

Now we know it's hot when the computer hardware starts failing - did you think I will be judged harshly if I move the fan away from my small sweating daughter and point it onto my PC??

There is so much at stake after all ;)
