I am in the process of recovering from yesterday’s hard drive disaster. It is very upsetting to have another hard drive go bad when this already happened in July. I recovered most of my data and all client data. Today I am installing Visual Studio.NET 2003 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2005 on my Windows XP drive. I don’t think I’ll use SQL Server 2000 anymore. I am migrating to Windows XP because Adobe Premiere Pro only runs on Windows XP and my PreSonus Firebox also requires that operating system.
I’ve been too busy to do a lot of back ups. This hard drive disaster is yet another reminder to be better prepared. I have an old system to use as a back up but it is pretty old and needed a new CMOS battery which I ordered. I really should get a more current system to serve as a back up. It is also important to have all your software installed on your back up operating system drives or systems because it is very time consuming to install a lot of software.
But I would like to point out that it was my removable hard drive system which once again allowed me to recover from a major hard drive failure.
