Subject: Journo 34 (Nov. Challenge) Posted Nov 20, 2011 by BMT~(ST)~Ace~Mod   Posting 1 Just a short one today. I went offline yesterday and closed the pc down as normal and got some lunch. At teatime, just after 5pm, I turned the pc on and was met with the dreaded BSOD. A quick check showed that the hard-drive had basically crashed big style and rendered useless. A quick trip to a friends place produced a replacement HD which was duly installed. Then began the long and wearisome process of re-installing the OS, along with over a 125 updates not to mention having to re-install some programs. As I don't save stuff of importance to the HD I'd lost nothing of value as such. It'll probably take the rest of today to get it fully up and running again and as the laptop is suffering it'll mean I won't be online much today. *ignores the cheering from the few* Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Journo 34 (Nov.

As I don't have time right now I've just emailed myself the files I've updated since the last backup. Thanks for the timely reminder! Deb Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Journo 34 (Nov.
