Machines hate me. They just hate me.
So, it seems like I got my new laptop just in time. The machine that's been my number one work machine for the past 3 years finally gave up the ghost yesterday. The 'C' drive just flat-out quit yesterday, leaving me with no way to access any of my work files which haven't been transferred to the laptop.
So I'm off to CompUsa to buy a new drive (blessing in disguise, actually - I can get 120GB of storage for just over a hundred bucks, and it'll give me a chance to upgrade the OS and my USB ports while I'm at it.)
And now that I think of it, it happened at a good time - when many of my clients are goofing off for the holidays instead of wanting changes to their sites.
Maybe my machine actually loves me, and waited for the most opportune time to kick it. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
You could try the last ditch, freeze the drive, reinstall and copy what you need off of it as quickly as you can (if it worked).
