You should keep backups anyway
12/25/10 07:24 AM


Acronis FTW

during this year's in and out 7 month deployment, I had my first HDD failure since... perhaps 2001? Not a bad record I suppose. I always make fresh backups before deploying for situations like this. Unfortunately, the drive that failed was the drive I use for my downloads and torrents.... don't run backups on that one. I need to stop being so damn lazy and burn that stuff to disk more often!

Gonna attempt a temp repair buy using another controller board but I'm inexperienced in desoldering an IC and soldering back into place (have to move the HDD's BIOS chip to the new board)

Anyone know of a good video tutorial I can get my hands on?


Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
