Hard-drives, Either they HAVE crashed or are GOING TO crash.

Tue Dec 19, 2006 11:18 pm

I've been working with computers for twenty years, but I've never had a primary harddrive go down like on Sunday night (the 2006 Conical Christmas Give-away).

Some may have noticed I bailed about an hour into the show... here's a shot of my daughter Annie and I frantically swapping drives (recovered all data, but drive went in the trash in the end). Thought you guys would get a kick out it.

Nice pic Push....I like the hair gel. Your children obviously got their looks from their mother.

I have actually never crashed a hard drive...but the CPU went out in this machine and pissed me off for about 2 weeks.

That's what mirrored raid drives are for :wink:

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

I noticed.

DriveImageXML is free and works fine. Check it out.

Oh, and don't just throw the drive away. The platters make great wind chimes.
