"PUTER" CRASH

[jusdoit]

HEY DAWGS...Ive Missed y'all...........
just got back online since computer crash in mid Dec....very frusterating.
"Magster 150" after 1300 miles is doing great. Extreme cold weather here in NC restricted my rides the last six weeks. Went for 5 mile ride yesterday and scoot did great but I was surely "Chilled Out" by the time I got home. For sure, Cold & Old Age don't mix very well.
Found a couple of helpful "Posts" since I lost my connection....Thanks & Keep it Coming.

Bummer, I trust you had a backup.
But welcome back anyway.

If you don't have a backup, I suggest you lookup BART PC and the XML backup/restore utility.
its free.
Works great.

You use Bart PC to create a emergency boot disk. You install the backup/restore software on the boot disk. Then from time to time you perform a backup of your whole system. Then if something happens you can boot the emergency disk and restore the whole system back again. Drive Image XML is the backup/restore utility.

I used to like Symantec's GHost software, but they got cute a while back. If you had a motherboard go bad and you put in a new identical MLB, Ghost thinks you illegally copied the OS and starts to do intermittent occassional random reboots on you for no reason.

RAID, RAID, RAID. I run a RAID 5 array with a hotspare so I can lose 2 of the 5 disks and still keep working.

Try not using Winblows... your computers will thank you!

I personally use Linux and the words, Crash, Blue Screen, Not responding, restart, virus, spyware and hundreds of other M$ words are not in my vocabulary... including the best phrase of all, "Buy my software".
