I would definitely back up some of the more important items on that drive before your next reboot.

I agree with ssulivan - swapping a power supply is pretty easy. All of the cables are keyed, so it's pretty difficult to put something in the wrong way. Just make sure all connections are tight before turning the machine back on and you should be good to go.

I have been on vacation out of the country and got home last night. Had not been to FT in 12 days. WITHDRAWAL....ConciergeMike told me about the possible do in PTY. Any updates on this?

I love PTY and there is so much to do there. The restaurants are great and the people are so nice. I'm going to have to check out the prices for tkts. I always use 35K for Y from EWR as the fares when I go (usually Thanksgiving or January) are arund $570.

We use a My Book drive to back up our home computers - pics, music, videos. It uses EMC backup technology/RAID architecture. We auto-run archivals weekly, so it is pretty easy to restore. These are cheap now (check out BestBuy) and can be installed in a few minutes.

Would you mind expanding on that? What are some of the must see sites/areas? I'm thinking of going down there over Labor Day weekend and I just have not found a ton to do. I'd love to see the canal, but I obviously need a few more things to pass the time with to make it worth a long weekend.

I need to invest in one of those soon for our home PC. Right now I have the photos backed up to DVDs, but I think an external hard drive would be a faster and easier option for backing up everything. And I could keep it in our safe, which is fireproof, when not using it to do a backup or restore.

A vital tool everyone should have. Can be difficult to set up the ISO image to run on your machine, depending on your hardware (I had dual RAID's and had to add special drivers) but once set it is a great tool.

I would like to, but Windows is denying that the drive exists, despite that I'm deleting things from it and moving stuff around on it.

Have you used to to reinstall and everything worked well?

spg folks, did you sign up for the Chicago promo and the 1000 pts for weeknights promo?

ssullivan Jul 9, 2008 10:09 am

Looks like that drive is toast...but it is letting me move stuff to the main drive. I'll try and recover what I can and then go computer shopping. Ironically thru all this, the Net has been fine. I think the drive took a power surge during a storm the other night. This would make two drives I've lost from that, despite having a surge protector.

ssullivan Jul 9, 2008 10:57 am
Sounds like you need a better surge protector.
