Well I know its a well documented subject, but I really have to do this......
BACK UP YOUR DATA REGULARLY
I have had three laptops in this week with hard drives that suddenly failed badly, data recovery would be very expensive in all cases, and yet its so simple to insure against.
Everybody now has a digital camera and most people copy their photos to their PCs, but not everybody prints them any more. Unless you copy these photos (or any files for that matter) to another storage device, then those never to be repeated photos are in danger of being lost forever. Thats all a backup is, another copy on another storage medium, so there is no excuse when your wife asks for a copy of that classic shot of little Johnny that was taken when he was two.
Theres so many ways now from flash drives to online storage, so please make sure that you are safe by either calling us for advice or getting busy copying now. We recommend a free program called Cobian backup, just do a google search.
Please dont let it be you next.
The day to day life of a PC engineer and the many frustrations that come with it. Keep an eye out for useful tips and trends too.

Sorry for no posts for a while, not only have I moved house, but now the workshop has moved too. Only next door , to unit E3 on Bounds Green Ind Est. Check out the website for more details. Its smaller, bvut if you saw the old office, floor to ceiling in junk (ok I admit it) then you would know that I needed a clear out.
