I will try to start blogging again on at least a limited basis over the next couple of days. Sigh.

Weather permitting, the install tech should come in two days. Then begins the process of rebuilding as much as possible. The next post here at the Library will be our 3000th post in the past 4 1/2 years so I will try to make it worth the wait!!Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-38192830994860126182010-02-04T19:19:28.429-05:002010-02-04T19:19:28.429-05:00I had that once - had to boot into safe mode to so...I had that once - had to boot into safe mode to sort it - the scan then ran as normal.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-79984267397716315512010-02-04T09:57:24.524-05:002010-02-04T09:57:24.524-05:00That sucks....bad!

Hopefully all your info isn't gone forever, but you may need a specialist to look at your hard-drive. I wish I could help you in a Paypal kind of way, but I'm not in a great financial position myself. So, all I can send is my best wishes.Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-38105885978239046582010-02-03T13:38:52.684-05:002010-02-03T13:38:52.684-05:00OUCH!

When stuff like this happens, backup services suddenly seem cheap. There are hard drive recovery shops that still may be to pull your stuff and put it on a new drive. Hope that can work for you.<br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-58031177697395388412010-02-03T11:14:39.287-05:002010-02-03T11:14:39.287-05:00OKay, it's official.

I have lost everything on my hard drive that was not backed up (which sadly includes thousands of pics, scans, downloads, articles, stories, ongoing projects, saved info, passwords, etc, etc. <br /><br />If you ever considered donating to this blog, now would be a good time to press that little Paypal button on the right there. <br /><br />I will TRY to use my son's laptop to resume at least light blogging in a day or so.
