CRAP

[batskeets]

My laptop hard drive just bit it.

Most of that stuff was backed up, but some of it wasn't... most notably, the photos from the clothing line shoot I did on Sunday. I normally put them on our server, which is backed up out the wazoo, but the server's hard drive was too full when I went to offload them Sunday evening. I needed to work on them right away, so I put them on my lappy, intending to move them after we got a bigger hard drive for the server.

And, of course, at the time that the drive died, I was in the process of exporting the photos from that shoot, so I could back them up on our new server drive. Because the universe loves irony.

Fortunately, I cranked out and uploaded the designer's final picks earlier today, so I'm only somewhat boned. :p But I'm still VERY cranky about this.

Are you guys PPA Members? They may be able to help with this. I've heard their recovery services are very affordable if you're a member.

data recovery can help!! i've seen andy pull data off of a hard drive that had been on fire. this was at his job where they had the resources to do something like that, but i'm sure if a computer shop in edmond, oklahoma can pull something like that off, you can find help!
