Computer Crashed

Howdee all,

I am typing this via Jeffs computer, my computer crashed...looks like the hard drive is a goner.
So I hope to get a new computer very soon..today hopefully..
Best Buy has a Dell computer on sale this week that looks pretty good.

So I did loose a few photos that I wanted...the before photos of the coach being worked on...otherwise my latest back up was a month ago..and most of my photos that were lost were on my Blog, thank goodness.

It will take a while to get the new computer set up ...
Hope to be back and running by the end of the week.

Oh well...
See You all then!

    What a bummer! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed over my computer. Hope you get up and running again quickly.

    OMG I hate it when that happens... It was us last year but luckily I had backed up my photos... I am going right now and back up my last couple of batches....LOL

    Travel Safe & Have FUN!

    That stinks Dawn. I'm having computer issues too. It's starting to shut off again whenever it feels like it. I backed all my pictures and videos up this weekend on a dvd. I most likely will be taking it in soon. I was just getting ready to purchase Windows 7 too. Looks like I will do it when I get it back.

    ...oh no! That is not fun. Good luck... I haven't yet had that happen with any of my Macs, but it did happen when I had a Dell PC with Windows. (Try a Mac...you'll love it!) :-)

    Thanks everyone for your sympathy ..I see some of you have had similar problems with your computers..
    Surprisingly I am handling this quite well..Mostly because I did back up about a month ago..and blogger has most of the pictures on it now that I hadnt backed up..
    Otherwise..it will just take some time setting up the new computer to my liking..
    Still dont have a new computer..
    Been busy with friends visiting in the area..so..
    maybe by the end of this week I will have a new computer..
    Hope to be blogging and blog reading soon..
    again..
    playing catch up

    Sorry about the crash. Why not just put in a new hard drive and put the new Windows 7 on it. I have been busy putting it on mine and it seems to be a nice system. One reason I haven't been writing on my blog so much. I let mine do a clean install, so I am reloading STUFF!
    Keep up the great blogs

    A good computer guy can retrieve stuff off your dead hard drive, so don't think all is lost, it might not be. And, if you can afford it, get a Macbook Pro (laptop). I started using Mac's about three years ago and LOVE it. I have no use for my old PC, and my mac runs windows (although I never use it), so I have the best of both worlds. Good luck with your new computer. hugs from Hundewanderer.
