Through the Forum, I learned how to archive Sea Monkey and where, and I was
grateful. I've been on computers for years, but not too techie, due to
production push.
When my laptop turned blue (constant blue screens), I sent it back to HP for
repair, specifically asked them to save all my files. When it came back,
all the mail files on the C:\ drive were gone, together with all my added
software programs. I was able to reinstall all the extra programs, but all
the mail was lost.
So, isn't that a call for copying those C:\ files somewhere off the computer
for safekeeping - disc, external drive?
Do you not backup your hard drive? Get a portable hard drive that
plugs into the USB port and a good backup program. Do a backup
regularly, and next time you can just restore the new drive to the
point of your last backup. I worked in a hospital once that had also
never heard of a backup. The hard drive crashed on one of the office
computers. They sent the drive to have the data retrieved but somehow
the thing was thrown away. Years of data lost forever.
