OK, Folks here is the whole story in a NUT shell.
From some time, i had alert from Microsoft Windows 7, my Hard Drive was not working WELL and did not pay any attention.
One day i checked my PC with "Belarc" and there too was the Hard Drive was not good. Here too , i ignored the warning.
Then i installed the Acronis Hard drive MONITOR ,and after a scan, there was the message the hard drive could fail anytime. So, i thought , it was time to have a serious look and backup my PC. My last backup was 1 1/2 months overdue.
I backup with Acronis on my Hard Drive E with a capacity of 232 GB. My last backup was of the size of 132 GB and i had to delete the old backup before i could fit the new one .
Then......the backup failed and the Hard Drive "started to get nut" with BootMGR is missing , and also could not find Hard Drive (C:) with was (D:).
I am so busy enjoying my life and i didn't have the time to try to fix it myself. So , i took the PC to the workshop
and asked the guy to try to save the data and transfer it to the new Hard Drive which i pay A$ 265.00 included the work.
The guy over the phone told me the data could not be retrieved.
When i picked up my PC i asked my old Hard Drive back.
I went to a workshop which SPECIALIZE to recover data from Hard Drive. Unfortunately, they could not. What happened to the old hard drive in the first workshop is any one guess. Cost here A$ 45.00
I live in the country site and the town is 168 KMS return from our farm. Cost of petrol around A$ 60.00.
Lessons i learned here:
If you have an warning about you HD , take it seriously and investigate immediately.
Make sure you have a good workshop you can trust
When you buy a external HD, buy one with a big capacity ,if you can afford it
I am thinking to backup on my HD (F:) and (E:), better 2 backup that one.
Have a nice day Folks.Love you all!
