I just suffered a nearly catastrophic hard drive failure, and I will be attempting a very precarious back up. The hard drive that held most of my accumulated longterm "stuff" crashed badly, and was unreadable by one computer, and one OS. The BIOS warned me that it crashed. Somehow, it remains barely readable as a slave, but only in the second computer.
Which means I will be attempting to save files all day, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to blog later.
There's something downright creepy about sudden hard drive failure. When 120 Gigabytes worth of many accumulated memories just disappear without warning, it almost feels like an electronic version of a stroke.
I know. Prevention. Prevention.
(Right now I'm in the recovery phase.)

Eric I feel for you,I ended up with a RAID 1 setup that mirrors my hard drive,not too pricey
but it's great for lazy people like me who don't backup like they should,Good Luck,

Thanks! It seems to have worked out now, as I was able to save my data. I had a RAID MB on a previous computer; maybe I should look into that.
