A Geek Should Know Better
Well, my laptop’s hard drive took a dive sometime last night. I woke up and my computer was dead. I have warranty, so I can get repair and replacement parts for free. That puts me with a few days without a laptop, but it’s the data I’m worrying about now. I tell people all the time that the hard drive is the first thing to go, because it has moving parts. Now look at me. I’m stuck in the same predicament I try so hard to help others avoid. I do have a backup of my data, but it’s not that recent. I have some emergency data recovery to do tonight, and if that doesn’t work out, I will be sending it out for professional data recovery.
Let my poor fortune be a lesson to you. Back up your data. Burn DVDs or CDs for anything important. You can always buy a new computer, but your data is priceless.
