I was very lucky today. My external Hdd started the death clunk that they get when they are ready to go. Somehow I decided to unplug it and try running it upside down after trying to turn it on and off 5-10 times to no avail. Much to my surprise it came back online. I was able to drive to town and pick up another drive and I am transferring all my data to it now. As soon as I have the $$$ I am going to buy a second drive and mirror the first. 386 gbs of data saved. :nannah: Fate
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
:dance
Good save and sage advice!
Freezing a hard drive can also help boot up an unresponsive disk, I’ve read about it.

I use a ClickFree 1TB external usb backup drive. Since I have my laptop networked over wifi to my desktop, it backs up both computers and I only have to connect it to one. Only have to make one connection and it saves time. The one I have backs up my data only, but they also make one that will backup the entire operating system as well. Think I paid about 125 dollars for it in 2011; they may even by cheaper now. I just replaced a 3 year old laptop and got a faster processor and more hard drive space for a hundred dollars less than I paid for the original.

I only use my computer for e-mail,
There is nothing on it I would feel bad about losing
which makes it that much easier to smash it when it pisses me off
