My hard drives are not fried.
My motherboard shorted out which fried my power supply, and my processor, but the drives were spared. I'm sooooo happy. I'm also ready to shoot the guy that built this computer for me. Finding out all kinds of stuff he did that shouldn't have been done....like using a sata drive as your primary drive is a no no, and the case was a piece of CRAP, and the motherboard was a piece of CRAP.
I should be getting my baby back in a few hours. I'm going to spend the next 24 backing up on DVD all the critical stuff, plus this will give me two backup drives to use, and keep my C drive for just programs.
Isn't their software you can buy that will backup your files to a secondary drive nightly? and just write over what files have been changed? Anyone know?
I hear you Jim on the backing up. I have fried more hard drives then I care to admit to, so I KNOW to backup. I'm definitely changing my tune after this scare, I've been too busy lately to do it, no excuse!
