Well, my new computer is up and running. I still need to install a whole bunch of software, but I’ll do that over time.
I’ve tried some data recovery software on my old hard drive, but no luck so far. At least my MP3’s were on a separate hard drive, so all I had to do was move that into the new machine. I don’t have to re-rip all my CD’s. Whew!
The data I do want to retrieve is all my old e-mails and photos I took with my digital camera, plus some Words and Excel documents. Fortunately, my novel is safe because I always uploaded the files to the web.
