We know why the firm was thrown of ebay now, they couldn't read!

Oh well guys it's back to trawling through the adverts looking for that next 'bargain'

Just tell her your getting something for her mother, that should do the trick.

I want to use my Spotmatic and make sure I got the light seals sorted, but the weather has been justStill I can wait.

For some reason the keyboard won't type

Done it again!

Just let me get back to solid, reliable technology. One that doesn't crash and loose months of pictures (other thread)

If they move as fast as they say you won't see one Clarky, just a blur!

I was talking about the dog cliff, not the M-in-law, although...

For various reasons all the older stuff is backed up on optical dics, but no longer kept on a main drive.

I was preparing a spare drive in the system to use when this happened.

On the bright side I have everything up to 2 months ago on CDs, somewhere. I just need to locate most of them now.

I've considered an old Oly for the collection, the new lenses needed have stopped me so far, still...

Thanks for all the help, turns out the disk had died.

There was no way to retrieve the data, shame.

Still a new drive under warranty and at least 2 backup systems will be in place from now on

If tried everything I can on the drive, so far, it just isn't reading the boot sector!

The really annoying thing is that my smaller,500gig, drive has just been formatted to give me a clean backup. Guess where the other copies were?

Just turned on my system and 1terabyte external (IOMEGA) hard drive and found the drive has died!

All the old photo's stored on it are gone!!!

Now I'll have to find the old backup CDs.

Wouldn't mind but the latest K200 stuff is gone for good.

The lesson seems to be don't rely on technology.
