Misery


We bought an external hard drive specifically so I could use it for my trip to CA. I copied all my scrapbooking files onto it and took it to Mom's. Then I copied everything new from CA onto it and brought it home to VA. So, after plugging it into the home computer last night, I expected all my CA files to be transferred to the computer.

Much to my MISERY, not only did it NOT transfer the files, it DELETED all my CA files including layouts, entire kits I paid for, and EVERY picture from our six week long trip. After searching around, we found that the deleted files can be restored, but one file at a time. As in, one picture at a time, as in, I will be restoring hundreds of files one at a TIME!! I'm so bummed. So don't expect any new posts for awhile!! I'm hoping I can contact the stores I made purchases at and re-download the kits and hopefully a few of the pics are still on my camera. And to top it off, my $100 external hard drive has started overheating, so it only works for 45 min at a time. I'm hoping to get my stuff off of it and then exchange it for a new one.

Maybe I'll use my free time to spiff up this blog!
