Songbird Member Registered: 06/03/04 Posts: 2830 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	Last week I saved some files on a new zip disk. I made sure the files were actually transferred to the disk but today, I found in horror that my files are nowhere to be found ! I can't explain what happened but they seem to have dissapeared!

Hey, you made me laugh too ! I guess this is one of those issues where it's either laugh or cry and I rather laugh... and learn! Yeap, I better learn something from this one or else... .

Songbird Member Registered: 06/03/04 Posts: 2830 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	Dear Chatty: I'm not upset. I know you're not laughing at me, so relax, ok? I'm Ok. -Just trying to learn from my mistakes and hoping for the best . Renee: Thanks for the tip. I'll see if it helps. It's been agonizing trying to find the files. Thank God some of them I had in different folders so I managed to not loose them all. But others, I have not found anywhere yet! Talk about frustration for a writer. Even worse, some of the files I lost were in English. Sad because I don't have as much material in English, and had made one big file to send to copyright .

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Last week I bought an external hard drive so I don't have the fear of losing everything. Here it sits. My son wanted to install it for me and I'm afraid to let him do it. I told him I'm calling my tech dude. He said I could pay him to do it if I felt like I had to pay someone. I'd love to trust him to do it, but I'm afraid if anything happened I would blame him and I'm not ready to do that with my own son. Computers still scare me. Any luck song? Sorry, but I'm no help.
