I lost EVERYTHING AGAIN!!! At least this time some of my older stuff was backed up....but i lost all my new kits...im devestated. I lost MORE pictures of my son. I am in tears...all i did was update my laptop with a windows update and it would never restart....i had just a black screen. :thumbdown:

Ugh i am so getting an EHD for christmas....

sorry i just needed to vent....can this yr be over yet? it's been the worst...
 
(((hugs)))...i so know how you feel a few months ago i lost everything too...i lost all my pictures from 2007...hopefully you can get them back...
 
Oh gosh Holly that is terrible. :( It is bad enough to just have it happen once, but to have it happen AGAIN. I'm so sorry.
 
Nope everything is gone...I have to reload EVERYTHING...this sucks...i am begining to really hate computers....I have defiantly learned my lesson...

Thanks for the kind words ladies...I am sure many of u have been thru this too...
 
OH NO!! I'm sorry, Holly! I just bought a new EHD this weekend! 500 GB at Costco for $99 (only $40 more for the TB... lol). Anyways, I have an old EHD sitting around here that I won't use anymore if you want it to hold you over until you can get a new one! PM me if you need it!
 
sucks indeedy!!! esp. to happen again!!! and it seems when one person starts having that happen here, there is a rash of hard drive failures....
 
Oh no, I have nightmares about that happening. I am hoping for an EHD for Christmas. Losing the photos are the worst.


Gonna go check out Costco's deals.... thanks Megan
 
I'm so sorry :(

One other thing - I think also have 2 backup methods.. I don't know HOW many threads I've seen with digi scrappers losing everything on EHDs too... so I say burn dvds and do backup to ehd.. or even us an online backup in addition to that.
 
Yep, I back up to two different EHD's. Every time I leave the house to go anywhere out of town, one EHD goes with me!! LOL I'm paranoid. :)
 
Let's just say I will be backing up everywhere after this! Bah...luckly i can still get my super recent purchases from the shop! :thumbup:

I know this all too well my western digital went belly up on me a few months ago but we recovered it with hubby pretty much making this face:cursing: while he worked on it for almost 6 hours ((HUGS TO MY HOLLY))...i know that's gotta be hard! :(( I remember I was just SOOO sick when it happened to mine...

I'm having a feeling its time to buy a VERYYYY large amount of DVDs to burn to...so I dont have to cry if mine ever crashes!
I went out and bought a 1 Tera a almost year ago...The wester digital i had went belly up after a few monts..it killed me :((
 
Oh wow that's so sad....I've been through it a couple times myself......Last time, I actually tried the geek squad just to see of they could retrieve my data, but it was the hard drive that just quit working.....I was under the impression though, if they could have just gotten the hard drive to spin, they would have been able to get my data possibly. Now I use EHDs and back up with Mozy
 
I know how you feel it happened to me twice and I back up everything to DVD, Mozy, and an external for my laptop. I also have an external on our Family computer I couldn't deal with it again:mellow:
So sorry for all you lost, Hugs
 
So sorry to hear this Holly! That sucks! I can recommend Mozy, though -- my EHD crashed a few months ago and I was able to recover everything off Mozy. So, it does work.
 
I'm sure you could try contacting the stores you bought from to see if there's any way to reset your orders. Some stores offer as a purchase option. You buy the option and then they'll reset all your orders.
 
I DEFINITELY feel your pain! That happened to me this week (still hopeful I can recover some) and I've had a migraine for 4 days... even came home early today because of it (trying to sidetrack myself so I don't think about how bad I feel).

I think we need to have a big huge pity party for each other... I'll bring brownies and booze... seriously... we can countdown to the new year together.

Sending hugs!
 
Thanks for that info Col...most of my recent stuff I was able to get since my downloads were still active...

And Stephanie I agree...we defiantly need to have a pitty party for each other!
 
Aughhh! Holly! that totally sucks! I so wish you could get kaden pics back :(

I shoud really back mine up alllll my stuff and pics from when callum was born to now are all on EHD with no back up eeek my job for the new year, I too need a new hard drive mine is full upol
