Hi everyone,
I've had some sort of hard drive boot failure on my main PC. I'm using my backup windows 7 machine right now.
I have no clue to when I'll be back working on courses or if I can recover what I had. Right now I have lost everything.
I was in the process of making a back up of my drive when things went south.......................I had just gotten 2 terabyte SSD drive to do the back up.
I'll see if I can keep you all posted on my progress if any.
I have this comp and access to my email.

Sage,
Good luck.

Sage try plugging in the failed hard drive into a spare connection on your windows 7 PC if you have one, you maybe able to rescue your files from the drive. I have done this several times over the years I have used a PC

Hi Sage,

My old laptop died a few months ago. In order to get files off my old hard drive, I purchased one of these. I took the hard drive out of the old computer, plugged it into this, hooked it up to a newer laptop and was able to get my files (which included the course spreadsheet I shared with everyone earlier this year).

Hope this works for you!

Unfortunately I had already tried all the regular windows recovery tools and those wiped my drive before I had the chance to try any recovery tools.
I am starting from scratch.......................Back up and running .
I am now running a nightly backup of my hard drive with a recovery USB stick in case it happens again.
Nothing like getting to start your APCD life over again....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But what fun would life be without all the crap....????

Sage.....

May the Links gods be with you...
