The 120 gig hard drive in my server died, so maxtor sent me out a new one. Now I'm in the process of copying back 55 gigs of stuff from cd's and other machines. This is going to take forever. Oh well, at least I didn't lose anything.

Perhaps you should invest in a tape drive or a RAID controller to make it easier if you lose a drive again.

Yeah, as soon as I have a little extra money I'll buy another drive to use as a backup. Unfortunately, between buying a car and moving for school, I'm a little low on funds. :(

At least you had it all backed up!
Most people don't think about it until it's already happened.
