So, I got home today from a 3.5 hour church service that took me all
over NE MO to find that my laptop had crashed--I mean CRASHED! The hard
drive was on the fritz and the computer wouldn't turn on. I know about
10 different ways to get windows loaded when it's being moody and none
of them worked. I've had lots of computer malfunctions, but this was BY
FAR the worst.
To make matters worse, my new beta version of
OneNote messed up my backup location (which is across my network at
home), so my only backups of my notes were on my dead hard drive. And,
the panic set it.
Anyway, I finally did some hard disk recovery
and it worked! I do get, however, a free new hard drive (that is nice).
Moral
of the story--check your backup everyday. Get in the habit of doing
this. Also, DON'T backup your files on your computer's hard drive--back
it up on an external or a seperate computer.
