My laptop is freaking me out right now. I turned it on as usual today and it gave me some message about not being able to find my desktop or something. Then I reboot and it puts me on a temporary user profile and my usual profile is gone. Then I do a system restore to a point from two days ago and everything is fine again... seemingly... But what the hell went wrong? I'm paranoid that my harddrive might be faulty or something.

Good thing you knew to set a restore point, not too many people do that, btw.

I've got not only restore points, but also an external HD for backups, plus I regularly copy important files to Dropbox, Google drive and a bunch of USB's for various smaller things. I'm especially on the ball when it comes to making sure all of my own music files are safe and secure. I'd hate it if I lost any of that permanently. I can't just run out and buy a new computer due to my economic situation, so yeah, I'm running chkdisc to see if there's something I should know about. I feel like that's a good idea. |

I ended up with an old 486 hard drive that doesn't connect to modern computers and a bunch of currupted floppies with things I'd never really taken the time to properly move over. Doh. I don't care about much else, but losing creative stuff - even incomplete projects and crappy things - is something I really hate. |

My most painful loss was the very first recording I did on an old cassette from the 80's. That's been long gone.

Would have been fun to hear, tbh. Do you have some other very old stuff laying around? |

It happened again!
I just ran CHKDSK and I've got no bad harddrive sectors. So I'm trying to figure out what's causing the failure of my user profile. Really, really annoying. Last edited by MicShazam; 04-07-2018 at 02:25 PM. |

Your mother really should start dating outside the family.
