Mar. 9th, 2006 03:47 pmI came in to work this morning and my computer had crashed. Some diagnostic work (aka - unplug all the extra drives, see that it reboots, plug them back in one at a time until you see which one crashes things), and I need a new D: drive. GO to Maxtor's web site, download the diagnostic software, get a code that says that yes, my drive is dead. Go back to Maxtor's website, fill in the RMA form - which has no place to enter the code - and wait for a new drive to be delivered.
Fortunately there's nothing on my D drive that I can't replace. Some things (like 160GB of other people's backups that I've burned to DVD but not deleted) don't need replacing. Some things (my installation disk, Corel Clipart) I can copy off other media. The MP3 archive needs to be redone (my office is the backup storage site for home), and I needed to burn a hard copy of the whole thing anyway. The tricky part is the ISO archive of all the installation disks people keep losing. Some of them I have, some of them I'll need to borrow, once I remember what all they were.
