New year new problems and what a weekend I have had it all started on Friday night. I decided after a day of lazing about only venturing out to feed the horses, walk the dogs etc that I would do a wee bit surfing on the net catch up with e-mails etc...
Well imagine my horror when I booted up the PC and it didn't load was receiving a screen saying windows had not loaded properly so I kept the panic to a minimum and tried to reboot in safe mode it didn't work so hubby computer wiz he is suggested I try the other options so I did by this time I was seriously fretting reason being I hadn't backed up any of my pictures, documents nothing so I was seriously freaking out so as this was late on Friday night and of course New Year's day I was beside myself with panic... pictures I have no copies of it was just tearing me apart, so first thing yesterday we headed to PC world where I told dumb and dumber my woes, they assured me that everything would be OK and my data would be recovered but they seriously didn't make me feel very confident when neither could agree on the price or what actually needed done, with a heavy heart I left my PC with them and headed home, in the afternoon a 'tech-guy' from PC world called and explained what needed done so my mind was at peace for a while always though at the back of my mind was 'this isn't going to work, I'm going to lose all my photos, data etc...'
Well I received a call this morning to say that my PC was repaired woop woop ;D I have never been so relieved the 'tech-guy' said he managed to back up all my data so all is well again. For future I am backing up everything so silly not to have done it in the first place but we never think about what may go wrong.
Sorry for the post just had to share my relief ;D
