Yesterday afternoon, just when I got home after watching another great A1GP race with Bas my computer started to slow down and after a while came to a halt. At first I thought something had just messed up the memory as usual and restarted the system but when that took about twenty minutes in total I knew there was something very wrong with it. And if I still had any doubts the amount of error messages that came up when I finally had my desktop again was no fun either. 'Can't write file, data lost', 'Unable to write to disk', 'File not found error', etc. This means that the hard drive is about to go haywire and I need to get the data off it before it finally does completely and I'll be unable to access it. And of course (as usual) I do not have a very recent backup so it's very important to me that I do get the data back. All of it. During my lunch break I'm going to get a new hard drive and if I can finance it I'll get two of the same type so the chances on me loosing important data are then reduced to zero because of the RAID configuration I'm putting them in. Let's just hope that I haven't lost anything, because that would really tick me off big-time.
