Computer sick

[helmut]

friends of cutting,

 

my computer is sick, very sick. all my patterns are there on it. I'm desperate.

[LarryEA]

I'm sorry. May they someday make a cure for that.

Hi Helmut

Another reason to put patterns on a USB stick.

Nowadays, they are cheap and very easy to use

 

Sorry, to hear about your problem

Hopefully, someone near by can make it better

so you can at least save your patterns and other important info.

I'm sure there are some really good patterns in there

Good Luck

P.S.

Stick your finger inside the cd player and see if you can make it throw up - - - just kidding!!!---SORRY

I put the usb stick in the place it goes but the computer will not download on it or a cd.It will do a cd almost to the finish and stop????

do a system restore

[WayneMahler]

I copy all my patterns to a DVD, I just went through a hard drive that  died. I was really happy for the dvd copies for a lot of things. I doubt anyone can argue with the art of backing things uo. I learned the hard way years ago,

Is that a MAYDAY I here. BACK UP BACK UP always BACKUP.  Tell us what's happening what do you see on screen???

You can use Linux to boot from cd and recover your files with it.

Falkon and her other friends!

 

the sick computer issued following diagnosis by experts after intensive mechanical diagnosis:

 

motherboard and hard drive irreparably shot up. caused by power surges.

Sorry to hear that....

 

As other have said....BACK UP....FREQUENTLY

 

If you have power surges, one can use at a minimum a GOOD surge protector. Also, you can use a battery UPS which will help protect from surges and keep your computer on if power fails.

 

None of these options is cheap but when you lose your data they become cheap.

 

I am doing a backup tomorrow on the computers in my house.

When I first started photography. My harddrive got fried.Would'nt power up or anything. I took the computer to Best Buy and they someway somehow was able to capture most of my pictures. Just a thought.

Oh no Helmut, that's terrible, hopefully someone can help you out. If it would help, I could send you a copy of all of the patterns that I bought from you. Just let me know if you need them, good luck buddy.
