Hard Disk Failure

Aaargh…. Nooooo….. My primary hard drive’s failed at home couldn’t get it to boot for love nor money. Obviously I haven’t been backing up assiduously either. At least the email is likely to be OK minus about a week’s worth – it backs up onto another drive on a weekly basis.
Add to that the fact that I forgot my wallet and Travelcard today (the nice man at Oxford Circus let me through without paying – well I had no cash – and gave me form to fill out once I’d borrowed some cash at work and bought a return ticket to let me have my money for that fare back! Left my Palm at home too.
And no wallet means that I can’t go out and buy a new hard drive at lunchtime to begin the reinstallation process tonight. And what a daunting prospect that is. At least this time I’ll be able to properly use Norton Ghost to make a backup.
