I’m back… again. But it’ll take a bit of time to work out if everything truly is running normally again.

Seriously… I’d be pissed at the shop for not checking both HDs thoroughly.
-
Damn… sorry Melrick. From bad to worse

If you can, backup your data.

My C drive is failing so I’m going to be offline for a bit until everything is sorted. Computers, I have a great love/bitter hatred affair with them!

I generally find that when a drive dies, it dies, about the same SSD/HDD. Should be doing backups all the time, regardless of drive type. Especially true with the ransomware going around. I've not had an SSD die, but my closet has plenty of dead HDDs. YMMV.

The daft bugger lost everything on his SSD when it failed (heat), but I’ve been able to pull files of failed HDDs many times now, most recently with the Spawn’s HDD. If I ever use an SSD, it will be for things I don’t mind losing, like game files. I’d never keep all my stuff on one HD anyway, but still…
Then again, I still miss DOS.

On windows, I use UrBackup to my NAS. In Linux, it's a periodic rsync to a local HDD (cron job). But I'm otherwise on SSDs.

There’s now a new forth option for weekly challenges: ShortStory. Previously, 1000 words was the longest your challenge response could be, but now you can choose “ShortStory” which can be any length you wish over 1000 words.
