At the start of April I had to have Windows XP reinstalled due to operational problems. So I told the Computer Service Centre to install a new hard disc @ 600 GB to install Windows on and to leave the other hard disc @ 300 GB as Data Disc. . .everything important was on it, included hundreds of scans of slides and photos of the past. I am sure the guy that did the work was called Murphy:
He re-installed Windows on the original disc, wiping out all my data files and not even formatted the new disc, so when I came home I thought I had no new disc for which I paid € 60 and could not find any of my data.
Next day back to the shop. . .you can imagine I was $%&^*(&$%#!~. I got the money back for the Service Fee and they said "sorry". I had a new empty disc after they formatted it.
On top of this McAfee had made an error in re-configuring my Security Account and wiped out 5,3 GB of Back-up Data from their Back-Up Server. . .nothing could be recovered! They said “sorry” too.
On top of that I had my own back-up system but did not back –up often enough giga amount of new data was not backed up. I said "stupid".
On top of that I had an Online “Drop Box Back” up System but hat used it incorrectly. .instead of placing original files into Drop Box I only copied files that were important, but not often enough. I said "stupid" again.
So in the end I have recovered only a fraction of the important data. . .I was hoping that on May 21 the world would end, as it was predicted by some nut Preacher in the USA. . .but again I was out of luck. . .this cruel world just goes on and on!
When will it end?
So, I am not in any mood to redo the Spy Dry Run. . . everything I had in Vortex is Gone with the McAfee Wind.
