So I broke my hard drive. Again. My PC booted ok, but wouldn't run any programs. It's a virus, but I can't run the virus checker because I can't run any programs.....
No problem. It should be fine, after all my PC backs up to the server every time I switch it off ( we set this up last time I fried my hard drive ). All my writing is safe. All I need is a new hard drive, and there's at least three just hanging around.
Only the backup hasn't been working. Oh, it told me every time I logged off that it was synching files. But it lied. For three months.
Cue nervous breakdown
After two days of concerted bribery ( on my part) and effort ( on the old man's) we have managed to save my data from the screwed hard drive and save it out. Huzzah! Only now I have to have Vista. NOT Huzzah. Oh and I'm on my son's PC for now which means I can't go to almost any website as they're blocked ( a little screen pops up with a piccy of the dog on it saying 'Frek's on patrol') I can't even get to hotmail. So not huzzah I can't begin to say. No nekkid men pics!
Moral: always check your backup. And marry a technical guru.
