OUCH! my hand hurts!

Yes folks its back. Its gone bad again. It has always complained about not being about to find a directory in one of my partitions.
It has started to boot again in OS3.0 from FD. I boot from there and use my RAM for the extra libraries commands etc, to run some stuff. Anyway.
I, as a test tried to rename that directory. It complained about an error. I then thought "got you!". I did various moving of files around and formats.
Thats after finding no errors with a thorough scan first. That didn`t work either.

Thing is if it were software would it go bad for a while then mend its selfto torment me so much? I`m not sure. This is I can access my HD via OS3.0. It just won`t boot.
Tomorrow I`m going to try and format my OS partition (thank god I backed it up a couple of weeks ago!) and copy across OS3.0. If it boots then it could be software, I suppose.

As for backing up stuff onto a PC? I like the way you guys say these things so casually like everybody on here has exactly the same hardware. Our only PC isn`t mine and its a Windows98 laptop.
Also I don`t know how you can entrust your data to such a device. :-D I have backed up most of my project. Problem is I didn`t get chance to put THE very latest version on a CD. Its only on a zip250.
The first thing I could copy it onto at the time, when I got it going. I`m much less worried about losing it, but still I`d like it on a CD.

This better be sorted soon, as my hand has a nice cut on a knuckle from hitting my keyboard. Strange as no keys came off today, and I hit it MUCH harder!

Hmm Ok then. I was expecting at least some replys + help. No matter now anyway. I`ve got it working again. This time I think its back to normal. I`m hoping!

Good luck, and remember to make a backup copy in case it happens again!

I do backup stuff, but as I was very close to the end, I thought I`d wait and not "waste" CDs. As
I write this my CD writer has just finished backing it up. Also I have the finished product on a
zip250 disk. Just incase.
