Another tale of lost data woe
The hard disc on the desktop I got at the beginning of the year is totally broke. It’s not visible in the BIOS and it’s not just the CMOS battery because, as the man pointed out, the DVD drive is visible in the BIOS.
He also said I’ve lost all my data. My work is fine – that’s backed up all over the place. As for my photos, well, there’s some on Picasa, a few are on Facebook, I think, but not all of them. All other data is probably just game data. I’m downloading the latest Ubuntu so Colin can see if he can use it to retrieve anything.
Meanwhile, the man is sending me a new hard disc that I have to fit myself. That’s just asking for trouble, surely.
