This is what greeted me when I booted up my computer after a weekend away from it. Life has been put on hold while I figure it out.
So my post for the day — back things up. Always. Everything. As much as you can.
I am in process of trying to fix and salvage. And luckily all my writing is backed up (at least, all writing from the past few years). But pictures and music are somewhere on here. Hoping for the best…

I am finding my way on the meandering, twisting path of life, constantly surprised by what’s around the next bend. Working to embrace and face the challenges inherent with following your dreams, and writing the journey. A writer and dreamer, historian and theologian, academic and fantasy-world-creator, genealogist and gluten-free baker, crafter and reader, poet and life-long learner, MLIS student constantly questioning and occasionally irreverent.
Eclectic Alli is my personal blog, with reflections on writing, life, theology, history, or whatever may catch my thoughts.
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram round out my online presence, and I try to do little bits different with each of them.

Ouch! Its a good thing you backed up the writing. I wish you tons of luck finding the music and pics 😦 Those seem to be what we forget about most frequently.

I just… don’t have the space for it. Have a lot of pictures and music, and have been in the process of weeding through it and getting rid of duplicates, etc. Also been planning on burning CDs of the pictures at least. This, assuming recovery, will speed up the process, certainly….

For sure. Hopefully you can salvage some if not all. Fingers crossed for you

Update: was able to bypass this mess and retrieve all the files I could remember (think I missed some videos). Will continue the fight after work, but I’m more hopeful that it’s just a bad sector that I can partition or… Something.

Hope it all turns out ok! It’s times like this I remember to back stuff up, and then forget I haven’t done it and might lose everything! 😀
