A couple of weeks ago, Dad dropped my external hard drive that stored all of my graphics and cut files. Okay. No biggie. It started acting funny so I just transferred everything to a new external hard drive. Today the new HD made a funny sound. I tried to move a file and it kept working, kept working, kept working....nothing. Turned off the computer, rebooted, and then tried again. Nothing but clanking sounds coming from the external HD. This was a NEW hard drive!!! I bought it a year ago, but I have never used it.
Luckily, I had backed up everything to another hard drive (an old one) a couple of weeks ago since I already had one hard drive acting funny and then we were having storms. I am now transferring everything to a NEW hard drive. I have some new files that I, thankfully, have duplicates in my dropbox. WHEW!!!
The only thing that I lost was all the organization I was doing. I think. I will have to check and see if I still have all those files I was converting from the .studio files into .svg files. But the bright side is that I didn't lose the originals....if I have to, I will just convert them again.
