Am glad you back up regularly. Not everyone does. When my laptop crashed to the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH this morning and the memory dump didn't work I panicked ... logged on in Safe Mode and did some quick back ups of recent 'stuph' onto an external drive then ran Malware Bytes and Combo Fix to sort things out. So far ... so good. I'm hoping you'll be able to access your files and save them to an external drive. I had a friend who lost ALL their 5 years of travel photos for the better part of a year but eventually found a way to retrieve them so hang in there. I'll pray for your friend ...<br />Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-65669232701185393782009-12-30T00:57:25.748+02:002009-12-30T00:57:25.748+02:00So sorry, Robin.

IBM tech support is fairly convinced that I will be able to recover the data, and truly all that is at risk is a week's worth, albeit an important week and no telling when my company will make that happen.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-76361064824295975562009-12-29T18:31:05.788+02:002009-12-29T18:31:05.788+02:00Sorry to hear about your friend.

This is precisely why I recently got a USB hard drive to back up everything to. that way if my desktop crashes and burns, I plug the USB drive into my laptop and march on. Seagate makes a 500Gb model you can get for about $85 USD -- at least here in the States. I got mine at Target, but you might find them even cheaper elsewhere. Of course shipping overseas would probably negate that savings.<br /><br />And anyway, devastating personal tragedies take priority over computer malfunctions. and most everything else too.
