Dying HD

Post by **Alphonse** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 11:34 am

My harddrive is getting grouchy in her old age, and is occasionally refusing to answer my calls.

If she does decide to ditch me for any reason I'll be out of game for a few days as I try to find new copies of NWN that i lost when i last moved ouse.

THis is just a plea for patience if i disappear mid event for any reason and dont come back, or dont show for events that i organised

Do you have ghosting software? Burn image to CD and rebuild from the CD?

Gonna do a clean build when i get a new copy of NWN and a new HD.

She was about due a rebuild anyway as its been more than a year since i last did

NWN Diamond just came out so the NWN Platinum version can be had for between 14 and 18 dollars.

I am abit paranoid about loosing all my screenshots and such ... and character journals, etc. What I do is similiar to Daemona's suggestion
... I use Norton Ghost to burn an image... trouble is its too large to fit my NWN directories on a CD-R.

So I have an older, very little used harddrive that I back it up to. Wanna hear the paranoid part? I disconnect the drive when I am not using it so that a power failure, virus or other things can't take it out. The drive includes other important things like family photos, finances, etc.
