Hard drive failure is imminent...

[strangetomato]

Yeah, that's right - imminent. That's exactly what my computer said.

Sweating? Who's sweating?

I'm not sweating, I'm BACKING UP my game. What else would I do at a time like this? Oh good. It's all copied over to the external hard drive... cc and all. I can breath again now.

I called tech. support, and they're sending me everthing I need to package up the hard drive to send it off to be replaced, which is awesome. In the meantime, I was told to back up anything I don't want to lose. I wonder if he could hear my blood turning to ice when he gave me that line.

At least Ripp finds it funny... this icon is going to serve me well during hard times.

Eek. HD failure is bad. Backups are good. Glad you got everything moved over on the external. Everything will be fine. Don't Panic. :)

I love my external hard drive so much that I tuck it in to bed each night (and I'm only half joking). That thing is a lifesaver, because I just fail at burning things onto cds.

I'm calm now. I have a number of backups (I keep the last 5 or 6 different backups, organized by date), so if one fails, I can always go back to an earlier one.

This reminds me of that backup simsecret. Terrifying stuff.
