Today’s Daily Tasks 3/7/09

Hello All,

It is time for my daily tasks post!!

So moving on from my last post about my wonderful #$%^&* hard drive. (I am still a little peeved) I thought I would list my tasks on re installing my computer………

Yesterday

  1. Installed Microsoft Windows
  2. Installed Nortons (My virus program)
  3. Installed Microsoft Office
  4. Installed My Modem, Printer/Scanner & Camera Software
  5. Downloaded Recent Emails
  6. Caught Up On Facebook

Today

  1. Downloaded Emails
  2. Installed Winrar (Great file extractor program) & Quicktime (Player to view movies and mp4 files on)
  3. Installed Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat & Adobe Flash Player
  4. Installed Cool Edit Pro (Excellent music editing program I love using)
  5. Installed Folder Sizes & SynBack (These software programs have been recommended to me to set up a proper back up system so I won’t loose my data again and won’t have six times the same file taking up hard drive space!!)
  6. Started re installing all my email addresses from my websites
  7. Started emailing everyone whom I have purchased products from over the last 4 months to find out if I can re download again.

I Didn’t Learn My Lesson!

Hello All,

It has been over a week since my last post. Why you ask? Well let me tell you…..

I didn’t learn my lesson!!!!

Last Thursday after spending most of the day working and studying hard, I turned the computer back on very late at night to do a quick catch up and guess what………..The computer had crashed AGAIN!!!

I sat in shock and looked at the screen saying “boot hard disk failed” and thought “That can’t be right! I just had a new one put in 6 months ago!!!”

Well yes it was right! And guess what??? Do you think I had a recent back up??

NO!! I hadn’t backed up since I had shifted house 4 months ago!!

For the last four months I have been working like a slave at my computer, downloading and downloading, buying product after product, email after email, photo after photo. You would have thought I would have backed Up right? Considering the amount of hours!

Well silly me, (I am so beating myself up at the moment I could kick myself 10 times over) thought I would at least get 12 months out of the hard drive before problems would occur.
