Most of your scans are on the forum also I think, number 1 rule of computing, backup all files possible....

Got to believe what newcarver said. I use http://www.freebyte.com/fbbackup/ religiously after losing a hard drive - and three years of work.

I simply burn a dvd or cd depending on the amount of data at least once a month. As computers are as uncontrolable as things come when it comes to crashing, have had it happen enough times it is just part of the scheme of things for me.

Two solutions, just becaused your computer crashed might not mean you lost everything. 1 suggestion is to take it in to a service that might be able to pull this information back up for you. Might be worth it because of all the scans you have done.
Or you will like you said have to rescan them all unless you still have them saved on your flashcard.

He might need the originals or have to rescan newcarver due to the issue of, if he gets them from the forum he would be restricted to doing anything to them in designer just like the rest of us.


I do also burn to dvd every month to save current work.

I have actually put the drive in the freezer for 10 min then try it, has worked on a couple occasions to retrive info, have to work fast though, when they heat back up they cease working again.
Does depend on what version he was using when he scanned, probably newer version though, I still use 1.120

I have 2 exterior hard drives I update often. Keep one away from the shop just in case....

The mother board in my laptop went down once, they could use the old hard drive so I was OK but it was a SCARE..... Learned QUICK.... Backup....
