Ted,
I second Bill's suggestion. Don't throw in the towel just yet. Let some
experts take a look at it. You may be able to recover it all.
Crossing all my fingers and toes for you,
Bob

Ted, before you trash that hard drive, there are companies around who can do
the most amazing things in recovering data from dead hard drives. One that
saved my bacon is Digital Medix http://digitalmedix.com/ located here in
Denver, Colorado. I am sure that there some closer to you but these guys
are good! It's not a cheap proposition but it may be better that redoing
everything from scratch.

Subject: WORSE CASE NIGHTMARE!
Howdy folks,
I know some of you have experienced the total utter anguish of loss when a
hard drive crashes and burns taking everyone with it!
My main PHOTO hard-drive crashed in big flames taking about three months of
careful prepared material, photo editing, writing, scanning each photo and
all the other aspects of producing a new photography book on the life and
times of the old guy. One can only say.... "What the hell that'll teach you
not to back-up every single moment!" The truth? Well I did some of it.
Please note...."some of it." :-(
The only reason I'm telling you? I have to tell someone or slash my wrists
or cut my throat and at the moment I thought telling someone was the better
of the options! :-)
Besides I can't do it right now because we begin heavy duty production on a
BRAVO TV documentary tomorrow on my wild wild life as a photojournalist.
And I didn't want to disappoint you in seeing and hearing the tales of my
wild and wicked life. ;-)
By now I'm sort of over the gut wrenching crying anguish of yesterday. It
also seems the only way to correct the computer situation is dump the old
and go new. :-( Another thing I need not face at the moment, re-loading
everything! I of course being a photographer, not a techie, will not be
involved in doing any of this make over.
I'll go as far away as possible as I do not want to see any of this
resurrection! When everything is ready in it's complete simplicity of
operation ... slightly above "moron operator" state, I shall sit before it
and start again.
Mean while I'll once again begin the search for slides & negs for
re-scanning, along with prints to flatbed scan. Some there isn't a hope
without a tremendous amount of paper work and flying to Ottawa as many are
long gone into the vaults of the National Photo Collection in the National
Archives of Canada.
Sorry if this put you off your feed, but thank you for listening. As you've
made me feel better, now I'll put the straight razor away! ;-) Best part?
Nobody died... I was close!:-(
But all, well most of it, will rise again complete with an incredible lesson
learned! BACK-UP EVERY MOMENT! No haranguing please, I've had all I can take
at the moment! As she who must be obeyed has beat all of you to it and
better. :-) Oh geeeeesh the woman hasn't helped one iota!:-) But what the
hell I still love her. :-)
