I was working halfway through a critical project when suddenly the system went dead and restarted. There was a sudden high pitch sound before my notebook gives two beeps with the error:
"Primary Hard Drive Not Found"
Oh the agony! My project... my three months project all went up in the flames! I saw there frozen nearly about 30 minutes. Even the project manager & localization officer were stunned to see my outlook. I had to explain to them that I've finished the code that will run the application. All that needed was a little cosmetic change on the page!
Told
Fuminari and he laughed. Seriously, he told me that he'd be in the same condition if his HDD went dead. May it be race queen photos, Japanese artists, programs; he treasured them all and will be sadden by the fact that he can never find that stuff anymore.
So I ordered a new hard drive from
Ms. Ong/Mrs. Khoo so I hope that he'll have a bigger capacity hard drive for me. In fact, this morning I just checked with him and he said the minimum drive he can order is 80 GB!
Okay, I have to put my joy off for the moment because I had to rebuilt the whole coding I was working on in the first place... *sigh*

After the restore, I looked to see what data I had lost. EVERYTHING! I had a stupid virus on all the floppy disks that randomly wrote "YOU ARE A LOSER" into all the files!!! Ahhhhh! So Backups aren't always 100% safe... sigh... Today, I backup my data on at least 3 different harddisk, and regularaly update my anti-virus software. Live and learn...
Well, hope you can remember everything you did, and don't have too much trouble getting your project back. Wish you luck and patience! (We need both in our profession.)
