ouch that sucks!
sounds like a power surge hit it.. is it plugged into a GOOD power surge protector( not a power strip - thier nothing more than a glorified extension cord)? as you now know - pictures are invaluable! whats $60 for a good one VS loosing all your pics again and replacing a computer again?
I have my pics and music in 3-4 places. most of my important pics are uploaded to the photo websites (or good pictures i share with you guys - i have alot of how things are put together which will suck if i loose them but not the end of the world.)
then a copy of pictures music and documents are on a 2nd harddrive in the PC that doesnt contain the operating system. Then i have a external harddrive that a backup gets saved to every week. If im gone for a long time i can easily disconnect and put in the fireproof/water proof safe. I doubt a tornado is going to run off with that safe....
Some pics i actually have developed (walgreens usually runs a special - 100 4x6 prints for like $15) so thats a way to "back up" pictures... weird to think developing a picture is technically a way to do a backup of it haha
