So ya, My hard drive that I had EVERY thing on. My "Back Up" drive.




It broke.




Edit: On the plus side I just got my X2 3800+. It's really nice.

It let me know I was F***ed twice as fast as my old Winchester.

My backup drive just failed tonight... 've only got about 1/2 the baby pictures backed up on DVD, and I'm scared to tell the wife...

RAID and offsite backups! Weekly tapes to your safe deposit box.

This reminds me, it's been about a month since I've backed up . . . .

*starts backup procedures*

Yeah... I haven't exhausted the possibilities yet.. it might be tied into a power issue I'm having since I installed an IDE Controller card and a new 150 gig drive for TV shows... but I'm about to start in on the new B-star galactica, and honestly can't be bothered... I'll sort it out.. Bios has a hard time recognizing it accurately so I'm a little scared...

Well you said it was a backup drive. Backup usually implies a SECOND copy of data you have elsewhere. So where's your main copy? If that was your main copy, then it wasn't backup. ;)

Ya, but I think static was to blame for it.
